Ok, I will request the removal from testing once we have fixed the other packages. > - octave-ltfat: FTBFS mysteriously on mips and mipsel. Should we exclude > mips and mipsel from the list of allowed architectures? Restricting the architecture set is almost always the wrong solution. But we could request a removal of the binary packages (from unstable!) on the failing architectures (marking the RM bug as blocking the transition bug). > - octave-odepkg: Does not compile against Octave 4.4.

Indeed I intend to NMU swig in order to fix plplot, I got the permission from the maintainer. > - libsbml: FTBFS for reasons unrelated to Octave, apparently.
