.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_octave_substvar\fR generates the substitution variables
\&\f(CW\*(C`${octave:Depends}\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`${octave:Upstream\-Description}\*(C'\fR needed for
building an Octave-Forge Debian package.  It also injects the
dependency on the appropriate virtual package octave-abi-N into
\&\f(CW\*(C`${shlibs:Depends}\*(C'\fR, for packages that contain *.oct and *.mex,
according to the current Octave's API_VERSION.

.PP
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.
