I already, filed such a sync request for the first round of the transition:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ocaml/+bug/402710

I also provided the complete list of packages to synchronize, to
rebuild or to manually check for Ubuntu changes:
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-July/009088.html

I need to have the first round finished before fulfilling the sync
requests for the other rounds.

It is Iain Lane that suggested to remove the sync-blacklist on OCaml
packages (on both IRC #ubuntu-motu and
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-July/009084.html).
Andrea Gasparini on LP bug #402710 had the same opinion. I followed
their advices. I don't know much more than that. More specifically, I
don't know if the sync-blacklist.txt blocks a sync request or not.

Scott Kitterman approved the whole transition:

Sincerely yours,
