OK cool, thanks for the pointer. So, no objections if I go and upload 4.03.0 again with a new "ocaml-best-compilers" real package? Depends: ocaml-native-compilers [amd64 arm64 armel armhf hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 lpia powerpc ppc64 ppc64el sparc s390x] | ocaml-interp [!all of the previous] Something like this, I think.
