This means that switches to the Octave package happened without warning (the switch from 2.1 to 2.9). While most end users either didn't care or switched to 2.9 already, the header package would be mostly used by maintainers. Switching this package without warning would bring quite some grief to maintainers (see #458131). Switching it with a warning would defeat the package's purpose. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to reopen the bug. Thanks Thomas
