Bug#562606: FTBFS: unknown options to dh_ocaml

mldonkey builds fine with the version of packages available in Lenny.
There is no need to backport ocaml itself, nor lablgtk2. The version
0.4.1 already available in the backports is also sufficient. By the way,
the Debian changelog for version 3.0.0-3 reads explicitly:

 - Update build-dependencies to ease OCaml 3.11.1 transition.

Which happens very often with OCaml packages (this is the only way for
us maintainers to make buildds wait for the new versions of the
dependencies to be (re-)compiled).

So you can backport mldonkey as is, by just dropping the versioned
build-dependencies to ocaml and lablgtk2 and without complexifying the
work of other backporters by, for example, backporting a version of
dh-ocaml >= 0.9 that is very intrusive and has been avoided so far *on
purpose*.

In general, before making "official" backports (i.e. for backports.org),
you should ask the original maintainers as explained in [1].
