Here is a simple solution: just write your class as:

class ['a] dtree =
  object
    constraint 'a = #debug
    inherit ['a] ctree
  end

Indeed, no type variable can stay unbounded (hence the ['a]) in a
class definition. #debug (equivalent to < debug : unit; .. >) is an
abbreviation that hides a type variable (the elipsis: ..).
