Looks like 0.6.1 is the latest version that doesn't have a "depends" field,
which would at least hint at why that one in particular got picked. but
switching to 4.02.0+rc1 and trying again drops me back to 0.1.0.

$ opam list
Installed packages for 4.02.0+rc1:
base-bigarray   base  Bigarray library distributed with the OCaml compiler
base-threads    base  Threads library distributed with the OCaml compiler
base-unix       base  Unix library distributed with the OCaml compiler
ocp-indent     0.1.0  A simple tool to indent OCaml programs

which according to opam show shouldn't even be an option:

$ opam show ocp-indent
             package: ocp-indent
             version: 0.1.0
