Yes, ...

The more future proof version would be :
Build-Depends: ocaml (>= 3.04), ocaml (<< 3.05), ocaml-best-compilers
don't remember why to add spaces, but they are reconmmeneded, and this will
help your package not be installed if ocaml 3.05 is incompatibnle with ocaml
3.04, which may or may not be.
A commitement of the ocaml team on some more apt versionning scheme would be
nice.
