Distribution-specific include paths for several versions of Octave

[Thomas Weber]

Hi, 

I'm seeking advice regarding a packaging issue in Debian. It came up as in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400246

We are currently setting up a symlink 
        /usr/include/octave -> /usr/include/octave-2.1.73
(or to the 2.9.9 version, depending on the installed version).

The question is if this symlink should point to the octave/ sub-directory in 
this directory instead, i.e.
        /usr/include/octave -> /usr/include/octave-2.1.73/octave

Thanks
        Thomas
