Public bug reported:

After installing `ocaml-findlib liblablgtk3-ocaml-dev
liblablgtksourceview3-ocaml-dev`, running `ocamlfind query -format "%v"
lablgtk3` results in `[unspecified]`, rather than giving the version
number.  According to
https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/13079#issuecomment-698168077, this may
be a result of using the autogenerated GitHub source archive rather than
the dune-release `.tbz` archive (e.g.,
https://github.com/garrigue/lablgtk/releases/download/3.1.1/lablgtk3-3.1.1.tbz).
This makes these packages unusable with `configure` scripts that do
version checks.

There is a log displaying this issue on focal at https://travis-
ci.com/github/JasonGross/test2/jobs/390617264.  I believe the same issue
shows up on groovy, as evidenced by searching for the string
`[unspecified]` in the log at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/498745150
