The blocking issues is indeed plplot. The version in unstable dropped
the octave package, but the version in testing still has it. So it's
part of the octave transition. libplplotada3-dev in unstable depends on
gnat and gnat-10, so is unsable to migrate because gnat in testing still
depends on gnat-9 but gnat-9 and gnat-10 are conflicting with each
other.
To unblock the situation, I currently see the following options:
* Upload plplot 5.15.0+dfsg-16 together with the change to drop
octave-plplot to testing-pu [1]. Then plplot would no longer be
involved
in the octave transition and octave would be able to migrate.
* Remove plplot and reverse dependencies from testing.

Thanks for your analysis. I’m putting Rafael Laboissière (plplot
maintainer and member of the Debian Octave Group) in CC, so that he can
decide what is the best course of action. My impression is that an
upload to testing-proposed-updates would be the least disrupting
solution.
