This query only checks binary packages, which is not enough. You should
use build-rdeps:

$ build-rdeps libextlib-ocaml-dev
[...]
ben
botch
coinst
cudf
dose3
haxe
headache
nurpawiki
ocaml-mccs
opam
virt-top

There is headache that uses UTF8 [1].

I'm afraid we'll have to build again without minimal=1. Cannot the
incompatibility fixed in Haxe? Otherwise, I think we'll have to create
new binary packages libextlib-minimal-ocaml{,-dev}...
