Mine is the same as yours, now. This is like cheating, though, since I have 
already manually set executable the two debian scripts in my own unzipped 
ocaml source directory and run debian/postinst there and ocaml 3.06-8 
configured now on my machine. Now the problem cannot be reproduced anymore. 

To summarize, when I tried to upgrade from 3.06-7 to 3.06-8, ocaml could not 
be configured after ocaml-base was. That means ocaml-source, 
ocaml-native-compilers could not, either. Then I downgraded to 3.06-7, and 
then tried to upgrade again. I got the same error twice. While still 
downgraded, I set the two scripts executable. First just debian/postinst, and 
still got the same error in /tmp/log, then debian/config, and found the error 
gone. Then I upgraded to 3.06-8, and this time no error reported. 

That's all. 

Best!
