It is done.  I generate and committed the patches for the impacted 
packages (octave-octclip, octave-octproj, octave-secs2d, and 
octave-sparsersb).  The patches have been forwarded upstream:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55342
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55343
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55344
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55345

I think that the way is now clear for declaring the debhelper 
compatibility level 12 in all DOG packages.
