Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be so. :-( In debian/sid, here's what I get from $ wajig details octave3.0-headers |grep Depends Depends: octave3.0 (= 1:3.0.1-6lenny1), gfortran, gcc, g++, libreadline5-dev, libncurses5-dev, libhdf5-serial-dev (>= 1.6.5) | libhdf5-lam-dev (>= 1.6.5) | libhdf5-mpich-dev (>= 1.6.5) | libhdf5-openmpi-dev (>= 1.6.5), libblas-dev, liblapack-dev, libfftw3-dev IIRC, I recently read somewhere that licensing problem of arpack has been resolved so it may be back in "main" again.
