Well, it is not octave-gpc's fault if its newest version is not in sarge
yet.  According to http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=octave-gpc,
we have:

    # trying to update octave-gpc from 0.1.4-1 to 0.1.5-4 (candidate is 60 
      days old)
    # octave-gpc is waiting for gpcl
      * gpcl is not yet built on alpha: 2.31-5 vs 2.32-1 (missing 2 binaries: libgpcl-dev, libgpcl0)
      [...]
      
gpcl is in non-free and octave-gpc is in contrib.  How could this problem
be fixed?
