Dbi module is now up to date on CVS.
Stefano Zacchiroli is Debian package maintainer of ExtLib, please contact
him directly if you're in a hurry.
For the future, you could maybe remove the DBI module from ocamldbi ?
I would simplify updates but we will have to synchronize release of OCamlDBI
( which will be only bindings for specific database ) and ExtLib when the
DBI module gets updated. (and it will also require users of OCamlDBI to get
ExtLib :)
