Where are the *.dsc and *.orig.tar.gz files, needed to build the package
from source?  I know that I can build the package from the CVS sources, but
the presence of the above mentioned makes things easier (think of apt-get
source).

As a Debian developer, I would sponsor this package, as soon at it becomes
usable.

Since Shai Ayal also manifested himself in this thread, I would like to
express my wishes here.  It seems that Ayal's octplot and yours oplot are
very similar projects.  The main difference lays on the choice of the GUI
toolkit (octplot uses FLTK, while oplot uses QT).  If I could choose, my
preference would be GTK, which is the ubiquitous toolkit nowadays.

However, library preferences apart, I am really wondering whether octplot
and oplot could be merged.  An abstraction layer would then be defined such
that the new Handle Graphics interface to Octave could be run using any
graphical toolkit.  What do you think?
