Okay. Do you have any idea of when it will happen?

I am afraid it is too late now. We could revert to an 3.0.3 in sid by using
an epoch in the version number (2:3.0.0-x), However, this may represent
quite a lot of work, because we will have to review/backport some
improvments/patches we have already integrated into the package.
Another possibility is just to prevent 3.0.4~rc5 of entering testing by
filing an RC bug report against octave3.0. Do you wish that I do it?

Which are these bugs?

That would be a great think.
