Mmm, it is ocaml which is depended, not ocaml-3.06. But then, i think
maybe ocaml-3.06 would have been pulled in by one of the other
dependencies, in particular libcamlimages-ocaml-dev comes to mind, could
you check the dependencies of libcamlimages-ocaml-dev in
snapshot.debian.net ? I guess you have to check them recursively, since
libcamlimages-ocaml-dev depends on libcamlimages-ocaml and
liblablgtk-ocaml-dev which in turn depends on liblablgtk-ocaml and
liblablgl-ocaml-dev, which in turn depends on liblablgl-ocaml.
Anyway, if ocaml 3.04-14 (the woody version, testing has 3.04-12 only)
got installed while apt searched for ocaml 3.06 due to one of the
dependencies of the build dependencies, i guess it is a bug in apt.
Could you see if this is the case or not, and also could you try
removing the unstable source (or sumarize to me the result you already
got). Alternatively, you could also try replacing your unstable source
by http://people.debian.org/~luther/ocaml ./ and see what happens.
