I got no test failure when building with pbuilder, probably because the
test were run there with the reference BLAS implementation (as
mentionned on the Octave-Forge list).

However, I have another unrelated issue. Due to the recent uploads of
blas and lapack in unstable (which changed the naming schemes of
BLAS/LAPACK libraries), I am unable to co-install the new octave-control
that I compiled with the existing octave package. Hence I cannot do any
testing of the new package. I am quite confused about this change of
naming scheme of BLAS/LAPACK just before the freeze, and I don't find
any explanation on mailing lists / wiki. I am going to ask on irc.
