I agree that the binary package called "liblablgtk2-ocaml-doc" should be
the one containing the API reference ...

... but frankly, it would be quite annoying to have two *different*
binary packages to install to get the totality of the lablgtk2
documentation we have to offer. IIUC, before this change of yours we
used to have a single package for all the doc. I concur that it was
probably suboptimal to maintain properly.
If, as I guess, tutorials are small, it is probably better to ship them
directly from the lablgtk2 source tarball (yes, hence modifying it via
"debian/rules get-orig-source" or something souch) and have both API ref
and other doc end up in the liblablgtk2-ocaml-doc package.
At that point, the old lablgtk2-doc source package can go. If it must
stay, I see little point in renaming its _source_ package name.
Cheers.
