This isn't a question particular to Octave, but it's about Debian
packaging. Please direct questions to Debian mailing lists or support
channels.

At any rate, I'm CC debian-user@lists.debian.org, and please let's
move the discussion over there. When you reply to this email, please
remove help-octave@octave.org from the CC.

I don't see how this could be happening. The current octave in sid
also depends on libhdf5-1.8.3

Where are you getting a 3.2.4-1 Octave package?

Octave 3.2.4-1 is in unstable since 31/1. Having that version installed
makes it impossible to install any octave-forge packages. Alternately,
having octave-forge packages installed makes upgrade to 3.2.4
impossible. Has anybody filed bug reports yet?
