Hi Josué,
thanks for the follow-up!
interesting... I used your package on sid the other day with no issues in an

ipython notebook. Maybe I was just lucky in the relatively small set of
features that I was using.
BTW this means that the package isn't running the test suite at build time...
but from the bug report you linked to, I assume that the test suite doesn't
completely pass in any case. It would be good if you could run the test suite
at build time, marking the known-failing tests as xfail so that they can fail
gracefully but any further failures would be caught.
Even better would be to
also add some autopkgtest tests to the package so that the tests can be run on
ci.debian.net every time a new octave version appears to make sure things
don't break without someone noticing.
the upstream bug is closed but I'm not sure how large the patch was to fix it

or if it would be possible to apply it to 1.3.0. If you're keen, you could
investigate that... but I perfectly understand waiting for upstream to release
their next version.
cheers
