Bug#1012016: libapache-poi-java breaks octave-io autopkgtest: assert (size (d) == [1001, 2]) failed

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of libapache-poi-java the autopkgtest of octave-io 
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages 
of libapache-poi-java from unstable. It passes when run with only 
packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
libapache-poi-java     from testing    4.0.1-4
octave-io              from testing    2.6.4-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of 
libapache-poi-java to testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I 
filed this bug report against both packages. Can you please investigate 
the situation and reassign the bug to the right package?
