+Description: 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 and substitution variables in debian/control.
