Naming scheme and versions are 2 different things. The version is
explained in the policy, see Ralf comment for the trailing +bXX part.
Regarding naming note that you are quoting *source* package name,
which are not necessarily the same as *binary* package names. In the
OCaml specific case, we are following the general guidelines for
naming source package, i.e., try to keep upstream name whenever
possible (see Ralf's pointers).
For binary package names we have some more refined naming conventions,
e.g., naming libraries libNAME-ocaml and libNAME-ocaml-dev. Those
conventions are described in the Debian OCaml packaging policy:
/usr/share/doc/ocaml-base-nox/ocaml_packaging_policy.html/index.html
Cheers.
