Yes.  Are you working on this?

A warning should be okay.  This version will probably never enter testing,
so there is no need to go through the hassle of creating a debconf note, at
least for now.

We might also patch some macros in src/version.h (e.g.
OCTAVE_NAME_AND_VERSION) in order to change the banner message at startup.
