The release is currently stalled upstream [1], because the Octave-Forge
admin is absent (probably on vacation, I don't know).

Would you mind if I pushed version 2.1.0, so that we can identify

package for amd64, but there might be problems with other architectures
which the Debian build infrastructure might find.
