Package: spdam
Version: 7.3.7+dfsg-1
Severity: important

The current version of sdpa/sdpam in sid build-depends/depends on the 
octave3.2* packages.  These packages will be removed from unstable once
the transition to the new version of octave (currently 3.6.1) will be
completed (see the wiki page of the DOG [1]).  

Just changing the relationships:

    Source: spda
    Build-Depends: octave3.2, octave3.2-common, octave3.2-headers
    
    Package: sdpam
    Depends: octave3.2, octave3.2-common, octave3.2-headers

to:

    Source: sdpa
    Build-Depends: liboctave-dev
    
    Package: sdpam
    Depends: octave
    
would be enoguh.  Notice that, since the sdpam package includes binary
*.mex files, it will depend on liboctave1 (and hence the latest version
of octave), through ${shlib:Depends}.

A final note, unrelated to the issue in this bug report: you might
install the *.m and *.mex in the Octave's path, such that the package
will work out of the box in Octave.  For doing that, you can get the
paths for the *.m and *.mex files as below, and use it in debian/rules:

    octave-config --print LOCALFCNFILEDIR
    octave-config --print LOCALOCTFILEDIR
