Dear Maintainer,

the gmerlin/gavl ecosystem has - after long years of waiting - made a
new release.

Unfortunately, this release breaks API and ABI compatibility, and the
OCaml wrapper for gavl is affected by this, resulting in an FTBFS:

```
gavl_stubs.c: In function ‘caml_gavl_alloc_frame’:
gavl_stubs.c:378:4: error: ‘gavl_video_frame_t’ {aka ‘struct gavl_video_frame_s’} has no member named ‘user_data’
  378 |   f->user_data = NULL;
      |    ^~
 ```

The new gavl packages have been uploaded to experimental so it should be
easy to test build against them.

For your convenience I'm attaching a full build log.

I intend to upload gavl_2.0.1 within the next days (as soon as I get a
transition slot).

thanks for packaging ocaml-gavl.
