Indeed, this seems to be a random problem on the mipsel buildd.  Some
octave-* packages built correctly on mipsel recently, like
octave-econometrics on 2009-04-17 [1] and octave-data-smoothing on
2009-04-14 [2].  Both were built against octave3.0 3.0.5-2, so the postinst
script ran fine, without hanging.

https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=octave-econometrics&ver=1%3A1.0.7-3&arch=mipsel&stamp=1239954430&file=log
[2] 
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=octave-data-smoothing&ver=1.1.1-2&arch=mipsel&stamp=1239721086&file=log

It will be very hard for us to debug this random bug on the buildd.  Any
suggestions on how to proceed?
