The dpkg-shlibdeps program, which is called by dh_shlibdeps, investigate
each *.oct dynloadable module for library dependencies. It finds
something like this:
$ ldd main/cell/cellfun.oct
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
liboctinterp.so => not found
liboctave.so => not found
libcruft.so => not found
liblapack.so.3 =>
/usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3 (0x40026000)
[...]
The Octave libraries are not found because they are installed in a place
where ld.so cannot find them (/usr/lib/octave-2.1.72/).
These warnings are harmeless in our case. The sole purpose of
dh_shlibdeps is to automatically calculate the library dpendencies and
replace them automatically in the Depends field (like fftw, ginac,
netcdf, etc.). We already introduce an explicit dependency on octave
through ${octave:Depends}, though.
