Given that they are not inspectable (ocamlobjinfo only > work on bytecode objects) you have no way to check them. I think we've dealt with this one by depending on the name-version-release of ocaml itself. This makes it an all-or-nothing thing: as on Debian we need to upgrade every OCaml package at the same time. This is causing a problem at the moment because I can't get PXP & CDuce compiled. CDuce upstream have released a full version for OCaml 3.10, but PXP (on which CDuce depends) haven't done so yet.
