       dh_octave_substvar - generate substitution variables for an Octave-Forge package

       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.
