I will be happy to apply any patches from Octave (and/or give access to
the git repository. FYI, Jordi has access to it).

I am also a Debian Developer and currently doing some minor packaging
tasks on arpack. I will do a first upload of the new version as soon the
patches are applied. I think I will just upload arpack-ng over the
arpack.
Since the two releases are API/ABI compatible, I don't see the point of
going into a useless package transition. To my DD friends (Bastien ?),
do you agree with this approach ?
