Hi,
I'd like to NMU atlas to fix yet another upgrade issue w.r.t. the
removal of octave3.2 by adding
Breaks: octave3.2
to libatlas3gf-base (the transitional package). octave3.2 is going to be
removed on any upgrade path, we just must hint apt to do this early
enough to not run into trouble (aka dpkg bug #671711). Most of these
issues were already solved by adding similar Breaks to
libblas3 (#677399) and libarpack2 (#684773).
