The easiest way is to grab the source code from www.octave.org and install it
with checkinstall (http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/). This will
build
and install a Debian package without the need to upgrade to unstable. The
advantage
compared to "make install" is that you can uninstall the software later.
This also works on RPM based systems by the way.
