Yes, the current debugging commands are far from perfect, but I'm not
sure what you expect.

Octave is primarily a community based free software project that
depends on volunteers.  The debuggning tools will only improve when
someone does the work.  I don't have immediate plans to work on this
myself, so I hope you are not expecting me to do it.  If it is
important to you, perhaps you would like to work on it, or provide
some incentive for someone else to do the work?
