Hi. We talked about this a few months ago:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2016/10/msg00023.html

The conclusion was that the latest sundials removed support for octave
and we didn't want to pull that out for stretch. So the plan was to
defer the update until after stretch happens. Nobody complained at the
time.

I AM using my sundials 2.7 packages personally, and they've been working
ok.

What do you want to do?
