dh_octave_substvar generates the substitution variables "${octave:Depends}" and
       "${octave:Upstream-Description}" needed for building an Octave-Forge Debian package.  It also injects the
       dependency on the appropriate virtual package octave-abi-N into "${shlibs:Depends}", for packages that
       contain *.oct and *.mex, according to the current Octave's API_VERSION.

       This program is meant to be used together with debhelper for Debian packages derived from Octave-Forge
       packages.  It is recommended to enable it by adding the dh-sequence-octave virtual package to Build-
       Depends, Build-Depends-Arch or Build-Depends-Indep.  This is equivalent to adding dh-octave to the same
       field and adding --with=octave to the dh sequencer in debian/rules, except that only
       -arch/-indep/profiled builds are affected.  This is also slightly more simple in the most common case.
