There are two reasons:

1. ocaml4.07-* packages seem to require ocaml-migrate-parsetree 
version 1.*.
2. There are some ocaml-* packages that require the old version of 
ocaml-migrate-parsetree (e.g. ocaml-bisect-ppx or ocaml-mdx).

There are a couple of other ocaml packages with two versions. The 
older version is just named ocaml4.07-NAME (e.g. ocaml-sexplib is 
version 0.14.0 and ocaml4.07-sexplib is version 0.11.0). For 
ocaml-migrate-parsetree this does not work as some ocaml-* 
packages require the old version - thus ocaml-migrate-parsetree-1.

Done.
