Dear Norbert,

I am working on backports of unison to oldstable and stable, and
realized that it seems there is a build-dependency loop:
ocaml-dune b-depends on libcsexp-ocaml-dev
libcsexp-ocaml-dev b-depends on ocaml-dune
How is one supposed to kick-start the build process when there is no
version ocaml-dune available at all?
Actually, libcsexp-ocaml-dev is needed only for building
libdune-ocaml-dev. It should be easy to make a build profile without the
dependency on libcsexp-ocaml-dev.
I added the "pkg.ocaml-dune.nocsexp" build profile in the git repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/ocaml-team/ocaml-dune/-/commit/3ddff6fba11017b55aea08d6524c3bd8170363e7
and I tried building with and without it. Everything seems to work as
expected.
Cheers,
