Well, it is into a .deb, but since it is new you have to have a very new
intallation.  What I do, on Debian testing, is to download the
experimental .deb packages by hand and install them.  I suppose that apt
pinning would make my life easier, but this is what I do now and it
works.

Using the nice debtree package at <http://alioth.debian.org/~fjp/debtree/>
I built this graphical tree with
  debtree --max-depth=2 -I octave3.2|dot -Tsvg > octave3.2-deps.svg
which produces a graph, in png and svg, that may be useful for those
who must choose which packages to download:
