It should. Perl is needed for "make check". But even if it were not, we
always patch-shebang script files in our packages. Otherwise they would not
be usable, since we do not have /usr/bin/perl. That I personally do not
use these texlive scripts is not a reason to make them unusable!

Now if this has not been done for octave, maybe we should rediscuss it and
add the needed script interpreters to its inputs.
