Hi all,

I think we might have to make ocaml-best-compilers a real package, so that we 
can have versioned Build-Depends: rules on it. 

Currently the ocamlbuild in experimental is using ocaml 4.02.3 from sid. I need 
to force it to compile against ocaml 4.03.0 instead so that it generates 
4.03.0-versioned .cmi files, otherwise the camlp4 build fails (and others will 
too).

However, if I simply add "ocaml-best-compilers (>= 4.03.0)" into Build-Depends 
I still get an error like:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: ocaml-best-compilers (>= 
4.03.0)

so it looks like we can't do this for virtual packages. (Yes, I do have 4.03.0 
installed For Sure Totally).

The alternative is to just say "ocaml-native-compilers (>= 4.03.0) | 
ocaml-interp (>= 4.03.0)" explicitly but this kind of defeats the point of 
having ocaml-best-compilers in the first place.
