The new era Octave package maintenance in Debian has just started, with the
upload of version 2.1.64-2 to unstable. I must publicly acknowledge the
hard work of Dirk Eddelbuettel over this last years. He has been close to a
model DD as regards package maintenance and let us hope that we will keep
his level of excellence from now on.
Here is the changelog entry for the latest version:
===========================================================================
octave2.1 (2.1.64-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Uploaded in behalf of the new maintainer of the octave2.1 packages: the
Debian Octave Group <pkg-octave-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
* debian/control:
- Changed Maintainer
- Build-depends on libreadline5-dev
- octave2.1-headers depends on libreadline5-dev
- Lower-cased the first word and removed some "The" words in the short
description of packages, as per the Developers Reference, section
6.2.2. This makes Lintian happy.
* debian/rules:
- (clean) Inverse the order of the calls to rm libcruft/*/Makefile and
make distclean. This was causing several *.o in libcruft to be left
after debian/rules clean, which resulted in dpkg-source breakage when
building the diff.gz package file.
- (configure) Save the original octave-bug.in file as octave-bug.in.orig
prior to the tempfile substitution
- (clean) Restore octave-bug.in.orig as octave-bug.in, such that the
patch does not end up in the diff.gz file

===========================================================================
As you can see, I had to fix a couple of things, but Lintian is not totally
happy yet:
===========================================================================

W: octave2.1 source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 2.1.64-2

I tend to disagree with Lintian in all these warnings, but I will discuss
the issues with the Lintian folks.
