OK, fine, you're right, but can you explain *why* are you using
dh_ocaml? The current guideline to package ocaml packages (i.e. the
policy shipped in dh-ocaml) does not mention it at all. The code you
are trying to use is not ready for production yet, please refrain for
a while, and follow the debian-ocaml-maint mailing list for updates on
dh_ocaml --- updates which will not come _for sure_ before the current
OCaml 3.11 transition is over.

Note that I'm not claiming your bug reports are inappropriate, it is
my fault that /usr/bin/dh_ocaml is shipped while not being ready yet,
... but please make as if it weren't there for the time being.

Cheers.
