Done (just before New Year's Eve!).  All packages depending on 
octave-pkg-dev have been uploaded to unstable.  Some of them have 
accumulated lots of changes in Git since the last release to unstable. I 
also did some extra QA work, like updating the .gitignore files and 
fixing other bugs.  All in all, it has been a good move, I think.

The next things to do are : (1) move the repositories into salsa.d.o, (2) 
get the DOG mailing list running at lists.d.o, (3) implement a proper 
dh-based build infrastructure, and (4) add the lacking Octave-Forge 
packages to Debian, perhaps [*].

Have a happy New Year 2018,

Rafael
