I am afraid I cannot give you an unbiased opinion (see my e-mail
address ;-).

The Debian packages for Octave are collectively maintained by a group of
volunteers:

    http://pkg-octave.alioth.debian.org/
    
Debian unstable/testing has Octave 2.1.71.  Octave 2.9.2 can be found in
experimental (http://packages.debian.org/experimental/math/octave2.9).  The
2.9.3 release will happen soon.

Several other Octave-related packages are available in Debian, see:
