+Why is mkoctfile not in octave3.0, but in octave3.0-headers?
+============================================================
 
+In order to use mkoctfile, one needs the development packages (headers, .a
+libraries) of the libraries used by Octave (fftw, blas, ...). These sum up to
+a lot of space; an installation of octave3.0-headers will trigger the
+installation of these package, so one can use mkoctfile then.
+
+pkg.m is not part of octave3.0-headers as it's used to find already installed
+packages (via /etc/octave3.0.conf).
