A problem with the graceplot package has been recently reported [1] in
Debian, which is caused by various graphic functions in Octave 3.0.1 not
working with the Grace interface.

We fixed this problem in the Debian by using a template function [2] to
generate all missing functions listed in a file [3] through the following
code in debian/rules [4]:

    for f in $(shell cat debian/missing.lst) ; do  \
        sed s/@FUN@/$$f/ < debian/template.m       \
            > $(INSTDIR)/$$f.m ;                   \
    done

I think this might be of interest to the package maintainers at SourceForge.

Also, there was another minor problem in the package: the file
inst/*-api-*/__grcmd__.oct is not removed by "make clean".
