Dear Richard,

I guess that the Ubuntu PPA will be updated after upgrading Octave to version 
4.4 in Debian.

The latter is currently delayed, because several Octave Forge packages are not 
compatible with Octave 4.4 anymore. There has been some progress lately with 
new package releases on Octave Forge. IIRC, these haven't been pushed in Debian 
yet. Also some packages still might need some work to become compatible with 
Octave 4.4.

Best
Oliver
