Uploading dh-octave to unstable

[Rafael Laboissière <rafael@debian.org>]

The version of dh-octave in salsa.d.o is now in a pretty good shape. It 
is almost Lintian-clean and should work for a large number of OF 
packages.

I propose to make an ITP and to upload the package to unstable.  It will 
need to go through the NEW queue and that may take some time.

Before I do the upload, please check the code in Git.  Feel free to fix 
any bug you find and improve the scripts, if needed.
