Now merged. There's a failure in the OPAM 1.1 compatibility case, and I suspect a lot of students will have the latest Ubuntu and run into this problem (14.10 has a broken OPAM out of the box due to an upstream packaging mismatch).
However, feedback from those trying it on OPAM 1.2 via: opam update opam install user-setup would be appreciated.
