/usr/bin/virt-top is a bytecode executable, but its package does not
depend on ocaml-base-$ABI.

I've scheduled a binNMU, which should fix the immediate problem. But the
long-term solution is to make virt-top depend on ocaml-base-$ABI so that
the package dependency is statically broken when a new version of ocaml
arrives. (Hence, this bug must stay open until that.)
