Make sure you disable dh_strip in debian/rules.

I do not but I just wanted to make sure you knew that this is not a generic
bug. My system (a few years old, many packages, current and up-to-date
testing, dual athlon cpu) runs Octave just fine as shown below. So I would
think we need to downgrade the severity of the bug report.
