To be honest, I don't quite see the value of checking for upgrades from
lenny to squeeze at this point of the release cycle - octave3.0 was
removed in 2010. Putting it another way, how many users do we help by
fixing this issue now?

This looks more like an issue with atlas. However, I am not going to
investigate this, unless a real user is upgrading to squeeze this late.
