I am rebuilding ledit for ocaml 3.08, and find no trace of this wrapper
script. It seems to me that this was removed some time ago, and that what you
see is a leftover of that. It is quite old too : 

ledit (1.10-2) unstable; urgency=low

Same goes for your ocamldebug bug report :

I don't remember exactly why it was removed again in 2001. Could someone
refresh my memory on this. Or maybe it would be ok to reintroduce those
wrappers conditionally (with a low priority debconf question maybe ?).
