octave−depends − calculates Octave dependencies
octave-depends [debhelper options]
octave-depends is a debhelper-like program that is responsible for generating the ${octave:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files. Variables ${octave<major>:Depends} are also available, where <major> is currently either "−2−1" or "−2−9" (N.B.: periods are not allowed in substvar names).
If you use this program, your package must build-depend on octave2.1−headers (>= 2.1.73−10) or octave2.9−headers (>= 2.9.7−2).
This program is not part of debhelper.
