Dear Maintainer,

Octave 4.4 has been uploaded to unstable, and swig needs to be updated in order
to generate compatible bindings.

The most urgent issue is to fix plplot, which now FTBFS, and is blocking the
Octave 4.4 transition:

 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=plplot&arch=amd64&ver=5.13.0%2Bdfsg-7%2Bb1&stamp=1528654000&raw=0

Upstream has already a series of commits for Octave 4.4, see:

 git log 
ee17f8d04f40bfc25ecaf146a6ebe667eabcffb6..a2ab3d7b20feec5f46100d98712dd92cf4f9bc52

If you don't have the time to backport these, I can do the work (possibly
limiting myself to the commit(s) needed to fix plplot) and then NMU. Please
advise.

Best,

--
