There is never a reason /not/ to talk to upstream, so let me introduce the
new Debian Octave bunch, please meet Stefan; Stefan please meet the Debian
Octave bunch.  Done. :)

| -----------------------
| 
| The Debian package for epsTK introduces an improvement as regards the path
| for searching *.psd files (files containing symbols used in the edsymbol
| function).  A new global variable called ePsdPath is available.  This
| variable should contain a real path, like LOADPATH, allowing users to put
| its own *.psd files in a private directory, without losing the access to the
| *.psd files in ePath.  ePsdPath defaults to the value of ePath.
| 
| Two new symbol files are added: tria-center.psd and ftria-center.psd,
| containing centered triangles.  The original tria.psd and ftria.psd symbols
| have their reference points on one of the sides of the triangle.
