Details:

Once there was a version 4.3.0+ but the package manager does not allow to set
a dependency octave (>= 4.3.0+)
This would be very good, in particular with java based packages, 
because implementation of the interface is quite fragile. 

I think, there should be clear which versions can occur 
and these must be supported by the package manager. 
Alternatively, there shall be an entry in the docs 
giving a hint that this does not work.
