I am revisiting this buildd problem conerning the postinst script of the
octave3.0. I see in the buildd status page for mipsel [1], the following:
State: Building (16)

If I interpret this correctly, there are at least eight octave-* packages
with the build stalled right now, aren't there? Either we kill the
processes or we take oportunity to debug the problem. I think developers
have not access to either rem or mayer, right? Otherwise, if you
discover anything interesting, please drop me a note.
