The problem that Jeffries had, and which you probably have also in your CDBS based packages, is that you cannot use a debian/control target, as it will be called automatically by the CDBS rules at *build time*, which is a RC bug in CDBS i believe, and the reason why Joerg rejected the facile package, and probably why you (by luck and without noticing probably) are not using a debian/control target but an ocaml_init one. So, if we will write in our policy that you should use a debian/control target to generate the build-dep part of the control file, then you cannot use CDBS at the same time, until CDBS is fixed.
