Not officially in Debian.  TTBOMK, it is not available unofficially,
neither.

It should not be hard, although we would also need backports of glpk-shlib
and ufsparse, at least.  This is a nice project for someone with free time
on her hands as well as some knowledge about www.backports.org.

Otherwise, just wait until the release of etch, scheduled for December (this
year, hopefully :-).

Okay, I set the M-F-T header to pkg-octave-devel.  Please, respect it, since
this discussion is not central to help-octave.
