octave-forge_2004.11.16-4 is already in unstable.  This version of the
package is compliant with our Guidelines, such that all *.oct are installed
in api-specific directories instead of version-specific directories. Also,
the package depends on octave2.1 >= 2.1.65, without superior limit.  This
means that the package will not become automatically uninstallable anymore
when a new upstream version of Octave enters unstable.  However, we must
rebuild octave-forge each time time the api-version number is incremented.

An aside note: buildd of octave2.1 on m68k failed after 20h41min with the
usual error message:

/usr/bin/g++ -c  -fPIC -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob -I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -Wall -W -Wshadow -O1 -g0 ls-mat5.cc -o pic/ls-mat5.o
/tmp/cchqGuhc.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cchqGuhc.s:20898: Error: operands mismatch -- statement `move.b %a4,%d1' ignored

Buildd of octave-forge will obviously fail on m68k.
