It is not that easy. It can work as you propose for packages which
depend only on ocaml (but still I stress that you need to bump _also_
the >= build-dep in deb control to be sure autobuilder will use the
right version!), but if I need to rebuilt a library libB which depend on
libA I need to be sure that the library libA is that rebuilt with the
new version of ocaml. Thus I still need to manually bup the >= build-dep
on libA.

Each maintainer is free to work on its package as he wish. Personally I
don't like the idea of batchly rebuild and reupload all packages of mine
without testing them.
