It defines an (optional) attribute minimalOCamlVersion that will be used to throw a descriptive evaluation error if building with an older OCaml is attempted.
I think minimumOCamlVersion was considered inaccurate wording at some point (probably there is a discussion about this someone could dig up) and buildDunePackage started accepting both. minimalOCamlVersion is the proper argument and should be used going forwards.
