Okay, I think we are stuck here.  My take on this is the following: the
octave-signal builds perfectly on my unstable chroot here, all tests
pass.  It does not in Thomas' cowbuilder for an unknown reason. However,
the failures regard only very marginal functions in the package.  I would
go ahead and upload octave-signal anyway, since it is a very important
package for Octave users.  I would also like to see the build logs from
the autobuilders.

At any rate, if the test failures in Thomas' cowbuilder are real bugs,
then exposition of the package to the large community of Debian users
can only be beneficial, since more people can look at it and report
back to the upstream developers.
