May I suggest :
a package ocaml-devel-task (or task-ocaml-devel, I can't remember the usual
order)
which leads to the installation of :
*    one package ocaml-utils which may contain things like tuareg, ocamlmake
etc
    if such things do not really need to build a specific package for them
    (what about tuareg "providing"  (Debian parlance) some thing like
"ocaml-mode" (also in [but not "provided" the standard package ocaml (it
already contains an emacs mode if I remember well...)
and
*    auxiliary packages like tuareg (if not in ocaml-utils), ocamlweb (I
think that ocamlweb *is* a development tool/utility), camlp4(?) and others
??

PS since Ocaml is a programming language, I think that
    "ocaml-devel-tools" == "ocaml-utils"
(i.e utilities for a programming language are development tools ...)

PS2 I don't know if packages can "provide" *several* things ?? I suppose
this is the case ;-)
