Yep. Here are the dependencies of OCaml packages:

I'm not sure but that seems to match the binNMU requests made by Debian
developers for OCaml packages when the change from a release
(e.g. 3.10.0) to another release (e.g. 3.10.2) of the OCaml compiler:

At a first look, Intrepid seems in pretty good shape compared to Debian
testing. But I haven't had enough time to compare package by package
statuts.
For the moment, status of OCaml packages on the Ubuntu side:
http://bentobako.org/tmp/ubuntu-only/debian-ocaml-status.html
Status of the packages on the Debian side:
http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/debian-ocaml-status.html
Give me a little time to have a side by side comparison and understand
all those complex build naming and machineries. :-)
Yours,
david
