Ok, I guess we are misunderstanding each other. Let us come back to the
original issue and, hopefully, we will find some agreement.
Bug#637787 was found in version 3.2.4-8 of octave3.2 (the version
currently in squeeze) and was fixed in version 3.2.4-11, which never
reached squeeze. This means that the version in squeeze is still buggy,
isn't it? In this case, Bug#637787 must be tagged "squeeze", exactly the
contrary of what you are trying to do.
Please, there is no need to start a heated debate on this issue, I am
just trying to understand what is going on. I may be missing something
and I apologize in advance for that.
Cheers,
Rafael
