We were told by the OCaml maintainers, if I recall correctly, that the
version should be required in dependencies because OCaml changes enough
between versions that the generic names don't provide a tight enough
version restriction. I personally don't know anything about OCaml, so I'm
happy to change lintian if that's not correct.
