If it compiles against octave3.0, perhaps we should keep it in squeeze and
remove it insqueeze+1, unless upstream development starts again.  Of course,
I am making the assumption that octave3.0 will only be dropped in squeeze+1.
We might adopt the same policy as regards the other packages that Thomas
listed earlier in this thread, except for octave2.1 and octave2.1-forge,
which we decided to drop in lenny+1, a long time ago.
