Bug#667587: src:debian-science: Adjust for the new octave package version 3.6.1

Package: src:debian-science
Version: 0.15
Severity: important

The Debian Octave Group is preparing the transition from Octave 3.2 to
3.6 [1].  Once it is finished, the octave3.2* packages will be
considered obsolete and we will ask their removal from sid.  We fully
abandoned the versioned naming scheme of the packages.

The following binary packages in src:debian-science recommend octave3.2:

    science-robotics
    science-numericalcomputation
    science-mathematics
    
Please, make them recommend octave instead.

Thanks,

Rafael
