You can choose octave3.2 as default octave using update-alternatives:
# update-alternatives --config octave
However, 3.0 and 3.2 are so different that you'll end up with an error
message in QtOctave's message window:
octave:13>error: `variables' undefined near line 1 column 176
So, I won't change the dependency for now.
