Hello Debian OCaml maintainers,

I'm one of the maintainers of OCaml's `ocaml-migrate-parsetree` package and
OCaml's `ppxlib` package.

As a heads-up: We've deprecated `ocaml-migrate-parsetree`, as it has been
superseded by `ppxlib`.

`ocaml-migrate-parsetree` is still being packaged as a Debian package. The
problem with that is that `ocaml-migrate-parsetree` will be incompatible
with new OCaml versions. So to update the Debian OCaml version to 5.1.0 or
higher, you'll need to give up on the Debian `ocaml-migrate-parsetree`
package, which wouldn't cause any problem as far as I can tell.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Btw, you can also read more about the deprecation on an OCaml discuss post
I've written:

Kind regards,
Sonja
