It's important for me to have glpk included in Octave. If you drop
glpk, then the QP solver will also fail to work. If the QP solver
fails, then the SQP solver will also fail. So it affects more than
just glpk.

It seems to me that the simplest and safest thing would be to bump the
soversion each time you update the sources from upstream.
