[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#819527 closed by Debian FTP Masters <ftpmaster at ftp-master.debian.org> (Bug#819527: Removed package(s) from unstable)

[Rafael Laboissière]

Now that octave-octcdf has been removed from unstable, I am wondering 
whether we should add relationships Replaces/Conflicts/Whatever in 
octave-netcdf regarding octave-octcdf.
