You seem actually to have deleted the changelog entry of the last
upload, please revert that:

-perl4caml (0.3.15-2) unstable; urgency=low
+perl4caml (0.9.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

-  * Orphaning this package.
+  * Missed John's makefile patch, added back with dpatch
+  * Makefile now detects absence of ocamlopt
+  * Policy => 3.6.1.0
+  * lintian suggested typo fixes
