Thanks for your support to my idea of installing it there :-)
An even more authoritative answer can be found directly in FHS:

 4.3  /usr/include : Directory for standard include files.

 This is where all of the system's general-use include files for the C
 and C++ programming languages should be placed.

camlidlruntime.h is definitely in this category.

If noone objects I will close this bug.

Yes: report the bug to the ocaml BTS. Anyway I doubt that anyone is
going to consider this as a bug there too, since noone of the caml team
apparently cares about FHS ...

Cheers.
