This reminds me of JPs suggestion of creating a template package. Up
to now I didn't see what information could be in it except what is
already covered by the Octave manual and by the hint at OF to use the
maintainer Makefile. But the current issue could indeed be a "use
case" for a template package, and maybe there are more(?).

BTW, since you mentioned Debian Jessie, Debian recently has made a new
stable release. But it has Octave-4.0, so your argument still applies.
