Hello Onkar,

Many thanks for you detailed explanations. It is much clearer now.

Should the bug report filed against the source package (in my example
"graphviz")?

Is there any specific format and/or bug title to follow?

Are those syncs done continuously or only at certain times? In the
later case, how can I know about them?

I would much prefer to solve those issues before Debian Import Freeze.
A transition to OCaml 3.11.1 is already planned in Debian (Karmic is
currently at 3.11.0).

Yours,
