[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#528506: octave-ad - Don't cleanup files written outside the build root

[Bastian Blank]

Package: octave-ad
Version: 1.0.4-2
Severity: serious

octave-ad and several other octave packages writes files outside the
build directory.

The build was done, according to the log[1], in
"/build/buildd/octave-ad-1.0.4/". After the build, a file called
"/build/buildd/octave-ad-1.0.4." was left behind. Contents:
