Well, thanks for your work and the page. 
I have one question about the build logs linked from there:
Is my interpretation of 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/k/koctave/0.65-2/
correct, that koctave fails to build for almost 9 months? This wouldn't
be too surprising, given that its upstream is inactive since 2004, but
then I wonder wether koctave is of any use.

Could somebody with an Ubuntu system here try wether koctave is actually
installable/usable under Ubuntu?
