infrastructure to build Octave packages

 Since version 3.0 of Octave (a numerical computation software),
 add-ons can be installed through the pkg.m system. This package
 provides the infrastructure for packaging such add-ons for Debian.
 It contains a Makefile scrap for inclusion in debian/rules, as well
 as the necessary code for generating the appropriate maintainer
 scripts as well as the replacing the substitution variables in
 debian/control.
 .
 This package is intended to be used by the Debian Octave Group
 and should be of little interest to general users.
