[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#667588: med-physics: Adjust for the new octave package version 3.6.1

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Rafael,

thanks for your work on octave.  I really welcome this step because the
versionless packaging simplifies things for the metapackage building
process.  I commited the relevant change to SVN however, the fact that
octave (without verison) is currently only in unstable and not in
testing has the consequence that it does not show up in the list of
Recommends of the med-physics task.  The idea behind this is that the
metapackages are targeting at the testing distribution and only those
packages which are found in testing at package build time will be
included.

So I would like to do the final bug fixing upload once octave progressed
to testing.  Please ping me (or the bug report) once this happened
because I can not guarantee that I will keep an eye onto this.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
