to be lablgtk2 rather than lablgtk, which leads me to wonder whether the

When I originally repackaged lablgtk2 I named the package
ocaml-lablgtk2, but there was consensus [where? - IRC?] to leave the
name as ocaml-labgtk. Unless you want to install both labgtk1 &
lablgtk2 this shouldn't be a problem, although it is slightly
inconsistent with Debian.
Second, this appears to be version 2.6, while the current upstream
is 2.10.1. This leads me to wonder (given that I know you just spun
this) whether there may be a good reason to stick with the earlier
revision for now?
Yes, because both binary and source break when you upgrade. Binary
breakage requires us to rebuild all dependent packages, which is
time-consuming. Source breakage is usually more complicated.
We have version 2.10.1 in Rawhide, and 2.10.0 in Fedora 9 however, so
perhaps using a later version of Fedora is an option? You can also
try using packages from Fedora 9 and/or Rawhide in Fedora 8 -- just
fiddle with /etc/yum.repos.d/* to enable the later repository.
