Basicaly, the idea was to coordinate release for sub-projects (like OCaml packaging) to know when to do a snapshot. I don't know if this idea has been accepted. But I think the problem will remain as long as their won't be an official Ubuntu developpers attached to OCaml packages. Some people are already doing a great share of this job though (like D.
