Migration to Octave 3.8

We are currently undertaking a transition from Octave 3.6 to Octave 3.8, which implies renaming some dependencies/build-dependencies (see 735557)

The following table lists the current state of the migrations for each package, and who has taken responsibility for it. The number of installed packages comes from the Debian Popularity Contest project (updated on 2014-02-13).

Legend: (./) uploaded, {OK} ready for upload, {1} no rebuild works with 3.8, {i} binNMUable, /!\ test failure, {X} problems in porting

The following table lists packages that have been removed from Debian and are therefore not important for the transition (this just serves as reminder that they were not overlooked):
