The .owner files are there to keep track of the package that owns a stub
(for e.g. "ocamlfind remove"). Since dpkg also does this job, I would
say the .owner files are useless for Debian.

If you feel like checking every package and properly report the bug, I'm
fine with that.

Indeed. And put a note in the OCaml policy (if it's not there already).
