Could you try running :
# export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer
# dpkg -i ocaml_3.06-8i_i386.deb
And tell me the output ?
I get :
debconf (developer): frontend started
debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is ocaml
debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/ocaml.postinst configure 3.06-8
debconf (developer): <-- GET ocaml/magic
debconf (developer): --> 0 true
But i guess you will see something else in the two last lines.
