You can use the patch provided here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=fix583475.patch;att=1;bug=583475

The point Mehdi talks about is valid but needs to be clarified in the
Debian packaging policy -- after discussing best practices among other
pkg-ocaml-maint members.

We can live with the provided patch at least until Squeeze is released ;-)

Cheers
