I think that's pretty much it. We should verify whether there are 'Forge
packages that are no more maintained and have become incompatible with
Octave 4.0. We should also check those other octave rdeps that are not
maintained by us, and file bugs when relevant.

Unfortunately I think we will have to wait some time before being able
to start the transition. The NEW queue is at a historical high with
something like 500 packages waiting. And the transition queue is also
quite populated, since we are just getting out of the freeze. In theory
we should also wait for the final 4.0 release, though this is not
strictly required.
