This was actually removed from the latest development versions of opam, and `~/.ocamlinit` is no longer updated by `opam init`. It seems this was no longer needed, but please complain if you find it breaks common uses!

Opam 1.2.2 is going to remain for a while though, even once 2.0 is released, so the issue would still need to be otherwise fixed in the meantime.
