FWIW, I discovered the existence of monotone-viz as an OCaml program as
well during the NMU. I also noticed this bug and intended to submit a
separate bug report, here we go.
Linking with -custom is deprecated upstream and violates the OCaml
packaging policy (it is more or less as linking statically C
applications, with all the related security issues when statically
linked libraries need security upgrades).
Cheers.
