First the disclaimer that I am not an Octave user and doesn't know about Debian's octave packaging.

If so, users will have to do the upgrade manually, no? Looking at the installed file list, yes, they seem to be installable in parallel. However, Debian maintainers never intended to support (in a stable release sense) both octave2.9 and octave3.0, they filed the Request for Removal bug for octave2.9 the same day octave3.0 enters unstable. My upgrade path comment is mainly about the "octave" meta-package. Now both unstable and hardy's octave depends on octave2.9. With octave3.0 installed, you need to use "octave3.0" command to invoke the 3.0 version. To make my position clear: I am all for including octave 3.0 in hardy, however to sync the unstable package as is doesn't seem to be an adequate, or even correct solution. I'm merely asking for more discussion on this issue.
