Interesting to know. Have you reported such bugs to the Ubuntu project?
<Off-topic>I'm myself considering to move from Debian to Ubuntu because
the Debian project is now accepting non-free software in main, Debian is
no longer focused on Free Software[1] and at least Ubuntu take care of

OCaml. :-)

Best wishes,
