They are however not distributed with the packages.. There are lots of things in the SVN to build windows binaries, mac binaries, packages, rpms, web pages and documentation that aren't distributed apart from the SVN. How would you suggest they are distributed? The mkdoc and mktexi scripts are only to build fixed.texi and comms.texi files, though are usable by other octave-forge packages wanting to have automatic generation of the documentation in the same manner. Why distribute this at all? If you have to for octave-forge on debian then package mkdoc and mktexi with a build depends only for the comms and fixed toolboxes..
