The build error is because Octave 4.4 needs a build-aux/texinfo.tex that
is newer then the one currently in automake 1.15.

I was able to get a successful build with the following hack

override_dh_autoreconf:
	cp build-aux/texinfo.tex debian/texinfo.tex.orig
	dh_autoreconf
	mv debian/texinfo.tex.orig build-aux/texinfo.tex

Is there a nicer way to preserve this file or to tell automake not to
overwrite it?
