NAME

       dh_octave_substvar - generate substitution variables for an Octave-Forge package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_octave_substvar [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_octave_substvar generates the substitution variables "${octave:Depends}" and
       "${octave:Upstream-Description}" needed for building an Octave-Forge Debian package.  It
       also injects the dependency on the appropriate virtual package octave-abi-N into
       "${shlibs:Depends}", for packages that contain *.oct and *.mex, according to the current
       Octave's API_VERSION.

       This program is meant to be used together with debhelper for Debian packages derived from
       Octave-Forge packages.
