In turned out this was a corner case in dh-ocaml which the package was
not considering. bin_prot is used by batteries only as a (required)
syntax extension and not as a library at all. This in turn means that
there is no reference to any object of bin_prot in any caml object
shipped by batteries and, finally, that the dependency on bin_prot is
not inferrable by dh-ocaml (which currently knows nothing about the
mapping between findlib packages and Debian packages).
I've hence added explicitly the missing dependency on
libbin-prot-camlp4-dev to ocaml batteries. The fixed package has just
been uploaded to unstable.
In the mean time, as a work around, you can install by hand
"libbin-prot-camlp4-dev" to fix your compilation nuisances.
Cheers.
