Bug#984788: (pre-approval) unblock: octave/6.2.0-1

Dear Release Team,

This is a pre-approval request for unblocking package octave, version 6.2.0-1

Currently, bullseye contains a hand-crafted mercurial snapshot of octave. Uploading a snapshot was made necessary because the previous official release (6.1.0) had serious bugs, which were fixed in the mercurial repository.

Since then, a new official upstream bugfix release has been made (6.2.0). For various reasons, it would be better to ship an official release in bullseye, hence this request.

The debdiff is attached. I have filtered out all unrelevant stuff (copyright header changes, regenerated files).

unblock octave/6.2.0-1

A further information regarding this request: the upload of version 6.2.0-1 of the package will fix Bug#983307 (liboctave-dev: Octave version in Bullseye breaks SWIG integration).

Best regards,

Rafael Laboissière
