I am sympathetic to your cause and would also love to fix the bug. However,
I am afraid this is not going to happen soon. This would imply an effective
fork from upstream, mainly because the shared library business implies the
maintenance of the SOVERSION. This is a task that should be done upstream
and I am really not inclined to have the Debian Octave Group taking it over.
I might be wrong and perhaps there is a simple way to fix the bug that is
convenient to you. I am open to suggestions.
