I'd imagine that label it as unstable should suffice to mean it is an
unstable version. It is after all, named unstable. If Ubuntu users are
conditioned to misunderstand that word, which word should we use?

Note that it's not random versions/changesets being built on the
unstable PPA. Only the numbered unstable versions are being
distributed.

What about having Octave print a big startup message, like it already
does, saying exactly that? It would remind users of what they are
using every single time they start Octave.

No.
