Can you be specific about what the precise bug is that you think is worth a Stable Release Update (SRU)? It also helps to be specific in your bug report that what you want is an SRU (since the development release already has octave 4.0.3).

I don't think that it is possible to SRU octave in 16.04 because of the liboctave3 -> liboctave3v5 library transition.

As you mentioned, an easy workaround for any user is to configure and install octave from the PPA ppa:octave/stable.
