I tried only briefly with cdbs, but I don't know how to change configure
options with it. So I went back to the simple debhelper/binary package,
where I can edit the rules a little more:
./configure \
--host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
--prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info \
--bindir=\$${prefix}/bin --libdir=\$${prefix}/lib \
--includedir=\$${prefix}/include \
CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,defs"
make install installs everything directly in /usr and not in the respective
subdirectories. I could move things around in the rules, but I think it
should be fixed upstream. Alas, I am not an autotools expert...

Fine with me.

One example that compiles fine is vibrate. I can read in the matlab file in
octave, what is the magic to create a 3d plot as on the examples webpage?
