I can't reproduce this in a chroot. However, I can reproduce it
with the sbuild. both installing octave3.2 and running by hand:

octave-3.2.0-silent --no-history --no-init-file --eval "pkg ('rebuild');"

work just fine. But during the install of octave3.2 when doing

	sbuild -d experimental octave-audio_1.1.4-1

octave hangs on the above command during postinst! notice that experimental
buildd's use a old sbuild patched for experimental:

ii  sbuild                            10:2006.11.27-13.etch      Tool for building Debian binary packagesfro

what a heisenbug...
