Who is actually maintaining the science/tasks pages?
The tasks files can be modified by every member of the Custom Debian
Distributions Alioth group:

I see in the
Mathematics page [1] that octave2.1 is cited instead of octave3.0 but it
should be the other way around.
I guess the entry in the mathematics task was based on the wrong assumption
that there is a package octave which depends from the latest version that
is declared as default by the octave packaging team. Thus the tasks
file said
Recommends: octave | octave2.1
because there is no such package octave in the Debian pool, this page
[1] http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/mathematics.php
shows only the existing package Octave2.1. My quick fix was to replace this
by octave3.0. Unfortunately this will be break once the next Octave version
hits the Debian archive. So you should consider filing a bug or simply talk
to the Octave packaging team to provide a package that always depends from
the latest stable version. Examples are for instance the python and the
postgresql-server package.
Thanks for the hint
Andreas.
