Thanks for the suggestion.  I implemented the change in in Git (commit 
e994cfb).  There is now a variable called OCTPKG_TEST_ENV, whose value is 
prepended to the Octave command whn running the tests.

I tested this in octave-ltfat (commit 45f5678), using "graphics_toolkit 
gnuplot;" in debian/check.m.  For that to work, the package build-depends 
now on xvfb, xauth, and gnuplot, and there is the following in debian/rules:

   include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/octave-pkg.mk
   OCTPKG_TEST_ENV = xvfb-run

The package builds apparently fine, but I see errors like the following 
in the build log:

   gnuplot> set terminal x11 enhanced title "Figure 1"
                         ^
                         line 0: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list

I think this is the error you mentioned.
