David Mentré is the only one having expressed interest about OCaml in
Ubuntu, and he didn't want to commit to 3.11.1 before the transition is
over in Debian and was even against initiating the transition in Ubuntu
(which is understandable).

I would recommend you to apply the fix in Karmic instead of waiting for
the transition to happen there.

FYI, the OCaml 3.11.1 transition in Debian can be monitored at:

  http://debian.glondu.net/monitor/ocaml/ocaml_transition_monitor.html

Basically, it will be over when everything is green (and hidden with the
default settings).
