I just added these two lines to install the files manually

https://salsa.debian.org/fangq/libzmat/-/blob/zmat/rules#L38

however, after installing the deb package, the pkg list command returned nothing.

How does libgdf handle this? I only saw the dh_octave_substvar call

https://salsa.debian.org/neurodebian-team/libgdf/-/blob/debian-release/debian/rules#L58

also, a side question, I noticed some octave packages also have a matlab-* package, like this one

http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/matlab-psychtoolbox-3.html

my toolbox is also compatible with both, do I need to create a separate package for matlab?
