Hi,

I just posted in this thread:

 
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/very-small-packages-merge-into-general-miscelleneous-or-move-into-core-tp4660966p4661344.html

a very simple changeset that might solve a VERY annoying and VERY long standing 
issue with Debian packaging:

 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32049

If the Debian guys like it I think it would be cool to include it with 3.8.1 as 
it is pretty trivial,
would that be OK?
