Possible maybe, but it wouldn't help. Both packages would be compiled with the only OCaml compiler available in the current Debian version, hence both unison's would be incompatible with the one in stretch. One side condition that you have to keep in mind is that there are a lot of architectures and the OCaml team does source uploads, which get compiled using the current Debian version. As Stéphane pointed out already: Please discuss with the upstream authors or submit patches there. Alternatively you could set up inofficial repository version, where you provide unision packages compiled with different OCaml versions. Hendrik
