I was never able to trigger this, myself, so I forgot about it. D’oh! Thanks
for the leg work.
I tried adding the Octave-3.8.2 patch from the Debian bug report, but that
actually finally _produced_ the error here rather than fixing it.
Maybe try adding something like
cp -f %p/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf %b/doc
in the PatchScript block, since upstream’s texmf.cnf was mentioned in the
report?
(Major pet peeve of mine: packages forcing end-users to build their docs for
full functionality rather than making this optional and shipping built docs in
their tarsal).
