Thanks John, but I realize that there was actually a bug in the Debian
packaging.  The install target of the Makefile was not being called with
DESTDIR, but instead with all the *dir variables set.  This is probably a
legacy from the time DESTDIR did not exist in the Octave's Makefiles. 

I already uploaded a fixed version of the octave2.9 package (2.9.4-3)
and I did not apply your patch.
