The first thing to do in this case is a slap on the hand for using
apg-get instead of aptitude :)

That said, I don't know which package will be installed.. But my aim is
to get rid of octave2.1 before Lenny's release. And I don't think our
users are stupid. If something like octave2.1 pops up, they should
search for the package that made this disctinction necessary.

Choice means a price, in this case the price to check what I really
want.
