Just ignore these lintian warnings, ...
The main problem here is that the ocaml team considers that using rpath
is the one true way, and even from the part of the debian developpers,
it seems the using or not of rpaths seems an undecided issue (as proof,
please check the flamewar about that on debian-mentors from a few month
ago).
So best would be to go with the way upstream does it, that is until
there is a true decision about it, and there is someone among us who
trully understands these issues.

Well, they don't seem to be the same packages i have :
$ lintian liblablgl-ocaml_0.97-4_i386.deb
W: liblablgl-ocaml: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/ocaml/lablgl/dlllablgl.so /usr/X11R6/lib
W: liblablgl-ocaml: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/lib/ocaml/lablgl/dlltogl.so /usr/X11R6/lib
but then, maybe you tried launching lintian on the -dev version of
those, or on the older not yet split version of lablgl.
That said, you could also try adding a lintian override to your package
in order to not see these warnings.
