Done (just before New Year's Eve!). All packages depending on octave-pkg-dev have been uploaded to unstable. Some of them have accumulated lots of changes in Git since the last release to unstable. I also did some extra QA work, like updating the .gitignore files and fixing other bugs. All in all, it has been a good move, I think.
The next things to do are : (1) move the repositories into salsa.d.o, (2) get the DOG mailing list running at lists.d.o, (3) implement a proper dh-based build infrastructure, and (4) add the lacking Octave-Forge packages to Debian, perhaps [*].
Have a happy New Year 2018, Rafael [*] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianOctaveGroup#Candidates_for_packaging
