Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the patch!   I would need to adjust it though so I could
easily build backports of the package across debian/ubuntu releases:
http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/libgdf-dev.html
probably in a way similar to what I have done for ptb-3:
https://github.com/neurodebian/psychtoolbox-3/blob/debian/debian/rules#L99


override_dh_makeshlibs:
    dh_makeshlibs
    : # Provide Octave:Depends
    [ -e /usr/bin/octave-depends ] \
        && octave-depends \
        || echo 'octave:Depends=octave (>= 3.4.3-1~)' >> 
debian/octave-psychtoolbox-3.substvars

do you foresee any complications from such a solution?
