I am wondering if it is not better to have the octave-forge virtual package
being included in octave2.9-forge instead of octave2.1-forge.  The former
will soon become the "recommended" version of octave-forge and
octave2.1-forge will disappear of the archive some day.  It makes sense to
make the move immediately now.

We still have time to make this change, since octave2.9-forge will be
uploaded to unstable in a couple of days (as soon as ufsparse, and hnce
octave2.9_2.9.6-3 reaches testing).
