This change would be really nice. It is is holding back bugs on other projects, it is an upstream recommendation, and it's as easy as adding "–with-quantum-depth=16" to the debian/rules file. Why hasn't been done yet?
It pretty much makes Octave useless for Image analysis and is forcing the users to not only build GM themselves, but also build Octave itself. It has reached the level where Octave documentation needs to give instructions to rebuild GM from source on Debian based systems.
