No problem if you install ocaml-doc without ocaml, because the package ocaml-doc install by itself files in /usr/share/doc/ocaml/, so when you install ocaml-doc that directory will be created even if ocaml package is not installed. Thus the dir /usr/share/doc/ocaml contains a mixture of files: part of them are owned by the ocaml package (e.g. the meta informations about ocaml package like copyright file or README.Debian), part of them are owned by the ocaml-doc package (i.e. the real documentation). Also /usr/share/doc/ocaml-doc exists and will contains meta informations about the ocaml-doc package (e.g. the meta informations about the ocaml-doc package as above). You can also add the symlink if you want but I think it isn't needed nor usefule. If you really want you can add a note in the README.Debian of both package saying where the documentation resides. BTW the standard is that /usr/share/doc/ocaml should contain the ocaml documentation so no one should look for it in /usr/share/doc/ocaml-doc. As an example have a look at the packages apache and apache-doc.
