Hi Julien,
Sorry for the big delay to reply to your message. It got out of my
radar.

It seems that you are having trouble in querying the BTS. Try
reportbug with option --no-query-bts.
Just a remark: in the reportbug log that you sent to us, I read the this
for the package synopsis: "STK is a (not so) Small Toolbox for Kriging".
According to the Best Packaging Practices of the Debian Developer's
Reference, "[the synoposis] is a noun phrase minus articles, as opposed
to a verb phrase". It would then be better to use just "(not so) Small
Toolbox for Kriging".

Please, create a Git repository at Alioth, such that we can share it. It
has been a long time since I created a repo, but I guess that the
instructions in the page below are ok:
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git#Separate_project
Create the repo in the directory /git/pkg-octave/ and be sure that it has
the correct group ownership and rights.
