The Release team told me that it’s ok to upload to unstable despite the
libgfortran4 transition. And the gl2ps transition has not yet begun.
However last time I tried to build the package I got an "Illegal instruction"
fatal error in the testsuite (in libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc-tst). I could
verify that it is related to the Qt5 move.
I think this needs to be either fixed or reverted before we can make a new
octave upload.
