Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know the details around that procedure. 
Looks like someone has to inform authors of that file.

As for the "build-depending on a virtual package possible random breakage" I 
would suggest to have arch-specific Build-Depends as the following: 

..., ocaml-native-compilers (>= vesion ) [alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 
powerpc sparc], ocaml-best-compilers (>= version) [m68k mips mipsel s390 
sh], ...
