> 22:21 < sebastien> so 1) we do not test packages that do not rely on that helper (though the description should be improved)

I committed a change [1] that probably addresses the issues raised by
Antonio Terceiro:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/autodep8.git/commit/?h=octave&id=06baf86928adc454dd6a727e7afe7ec1c17ff650
Please, check whether this is okay or not.
