Bad news: the current octave2.9-forge package does not work well with
octave2.9 and this will take some time to fix.  It is too bad that I
uploaded 2.9.10 to unstable before checking this.  The current Octave-Forge
packages are intended to be installed in the user's system through the new
pkg system.

What should we do now?  Deprecate octave2.9-forge or fix it by backporting
the code obtained from CVS ?  A third solution would be to start working
immediately on the new pkg2deb package.
