[Reproducible-builds] Bug#779037: dh-ocaml: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that dh-ocaml generates /var/lib/ocaml/lintian/libfoo-ocaml-dev.info
files with a non-deterministic order.

The attached patch removes this randomness from the build system.
