I am sympathetic to your cause and would also love to fix the bug.  However,
I am afraid this is not going to happen soon.  This would imply an effective
fork from upstream, mainly because the shared library business implies the
maintenance of the SOVERSION.  This is a task that should be done upstream
and I am really not inclined to have the Debian Octave Group taking it over.

I might be wrong and perhaps there is a simple way to fix the bug that is
convenient to you.  I am open to suggestions.

[I am Cc:ing this to the Octave upstream maintainers.  For reference, see
