That makes things clearer. The binary is not a "good" package. It is just
the result of the Build From Source step of the usual installation
procedure. It makes the usual procedure much quicker. 

For 32 bit Ubuntu 11, the procedure becomes (Some steps may be optional.)  

   Download the binary to a temporary directory.

   $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
   $ sudo apt-get build-dep octave3.2
   $ sudo dpkg -i /temporarydirectory/octave_3.4.3-1_i386.deb
   $ sudo apt-get install bison libfontconfig-dev
   $ sudo apt-get install gnuplot 
   $ sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
