A few points to be fixed:

1) You forgot to close the two bugs in the changelog entry, using the "(Closes:
   #nnnnnn)" magic.

   Since the bugs have been fixed by the new upstream release (and not by a
   Debian-specific patch or a packaging change), you should add two sub-entries
   under "New upstream release" with a short comment for each and the "Closes"
   magic.

2) I get the following lintian messages/warnings related to debian/copyright:

I: octave-interval source: wildcard-matches-nothing-in-dep5-copyright ./inst/test/c-xsc.tst (paragraph at line 39)
I: octave-interval source: wildcard-matches-nothing-in-dep5-copyright ./test/c-xsc.itl (paragraph at line 39)
W: octave-interval source: field-name-typo-in-dep5-copyright file -> files(line 85)
I: octave-interval source: wildcard-matches-nothing-in-dep5-copyright ./src/crlibm/scs_lib/tests/zero_scs.c (paragraph at line 128)

3) Please bump to debhelper compat level 11, which has just become the new
   recommended level (you should change debian/compat and also the debhelper
   dependency in debian/control).

Otherwise the packaging looks good.

Thanks for your work,
