Oh, that was easy. Thank you. I wasn't able to parse the Lintian
error. I have re-uploaded the package. We should probably should wait
until Rafael Laboissiere approves it; he migiht find other problems
with the package, and the Debian Octave Group has overall more
experience packaging this.
Rafael, I have uploaded the changes to svn too. I put them in trunk/
since I understand that I shouldn't make a tag yet until you approve
the packaging?
There is also one more thing about the source package. The new
upstream tarball now includes an irrelevant side project, which I
completely removed and simplified the tree structure accordingly. I
also removed the octave_doc that upstream keeps shipping, not sure if
they have understood yet why it's a GPL violation to ship that or not.
I've asked them again to not ship it, silly as the whole thing is.
