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:
http://pkg-octave.alioth.debian.org/#packages
