The package should be ocaml-mode, the files inside can be caml-mode though.

Nope, we don't care about transitional purpose, if people want it, they can
install it by hand, most people probably just don't care.
Also, having a depend, recomend or suggest just breaks the whole purpose of
moving it apart, and having a depend will have emacs continue break ocaml at
random times. ocaml doesn't really depend on emacs, maybe a suggest would be
it, apart that new apt-like tools auto-install suggests, so ...
The change should be mentioned in the changelog and in the README.Debian, and
this should be enough.
