Backporting ocaml isn't an easy task, since you'll have to have all
OCaml libraries recompiled. Besides, the workflow used in Lenny doesn't
help to spot easily what needs to be recompiled. This should be fixed
with the approach now used in Squeeze. We often use versioned
dependencies to ocaml to ease OCaml transitions even though the package
being compiled would also work with the previous version of OCaml. This
should be explicit in the Debian changelog. Did you try to remove the
versioned dependency?
