But since that seems fragile (or maybe impossible for MEX files), ok for using the information from mkoctfile.
I implemented and pushed the changes in both dh-octave and octave packages. The liboctaveN package now provides the virtual package octave-abi-M and dh-octave injects the dependency in all packages having *.oct and *.mex files.
If nobody objects, I will upload the new version of both packages to unstable. After that, all OF packages containing *.oct and *.mex files will need to be uploaded as well.
Best, Rafael
