The package appears to have incompatible dependencies for squeeze:

servo:~ 0$ apt-cache policy gcc-4.3
gcc-4.3:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  octave3.0-headers: Depends: gcc-4.3 (< 4.3.4) but 4.3.4-1 is to be installed
                     Depends: g++-4.3 (< 4.3.4) but 4.3.4-1 is to be installed
                     Depends: gfortran-4.3 (< 4.3.4) but 4.3.4-1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
servo:~ 100$ 

This is clearly related to #541444 (I assume).

Thanks.  Hopefully this can get cleared up soon, because I would
really like to use this package.  Unfortunately the alternative,
octave3.2, is also unavailable because of the similar bug above.

jamie.
