There's nothing low-quality about those packages. There's just that
checkinstall does not integrate packages into your system.
The debs don't contain dependency information (which is the reason you
can install it - with proper version information, dpkg wouldn't let you
install the package in the first place).
It was built against an HDF5 library with an old ABI that is no longer
avilable in Debian/Ubuntu (HDF5 changes its ABI frequently).
So, in short, you'll need HDF5 1.8.4, in whatever version the packager
hand on its system when building the above deb package (which means
either serial, mpich or openmpi version - and no, they are not
compatible). Or, you can install the -dev package of hdf5 on your system
and build Octave again.
