Matlab is installed on sage.math. It passes its test suite:
wst...@sage:~/build/sage-4.2.1$ ./sage -t --optional
devel/sage/sage/interfaces/matlab.py
sage -t --optional "devel/sage/sage/interfaces/matlab.py"
[4.4 s]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 4.4 seconds
wst...@sage:~/build/sage-4.2.1$
