Dear Maintainer,
On jessie, opam 1.2.0 is packaged but it is officially deprecated since
a year [1][2].
It makes opam unusable for jessie users: already initialised ones can't
install new compilers nor update packages, and with a fresh install
opam
is almost unusable (e.g. [3]).
The solution is to upgrade the opam package to 1.2.2.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to upgrade Opam to 1.2.2 in Debian
stable.
I can ask for its removal, or document in this bugreport how to point
their
installation to a frozen working mirror?
In the meantime, I'll work on a {sloppy-,}backport of 1.2.2.
