This is nothing new and it's not serious, it has always been so. Merging
with the other duplicates...  One of those already was about ocaml: 170825

Ian wrote a first patch:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=82;filename=0001-Check-dependencies-_on_-the-package-we-re-to-upgrade.patch;att=1;bug=20471

But the patch breaks dpkg in some cases as reported by Joey Hess:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=20471#87

Ian, would you like to give it a second look?

Cheers,
