I’m not sure what exact problem you’re trying to solve. If octave-dev
is not installed, mkoctfile will fail in the current setup. With your
proposed changed, it will be the same (the error message will just be
different).

If you really think that something needs to be changed, I think the
best solution would be to have mkoctfile error out with an informative
error message (e.g. “You should install octave-dev”).
