Then I guess the problem is that I misunderstand the purpose of the 'octave3.0-headers' package. I thought the package added the stuff needed for making 'mkoctfile' work with the binary version of Octave. Is that the intention of the package or is it a meta-package that adds the dependencies needed for building Octave yourself?
