A new Octave release is not a problem for Debian. We will currently stay with 
2.9.9 in the testing part of the distribution, until we've figured out how to 
integrate the Octave package manager [OPM] with the distribution package 
manager (or, more precisely: how to use the OPM for creating the packages).

Some ideas are available at
