Well, this is more a mercurial test than really a bug report. The bug is
minor and the proposed fix is trivial. I am actually interested to know
whether I am using hg correctly and whether this way of submitting patches
would be acceptable. Attached below is a hg changeset with the fix.
Anyway, the Debian checking tool, Lintian, is complaining now about unknown
macros in some manpages. More details can be found in the changeset below.

Drop .LO macros from manpages
The .LO are not documented anywhere and processing the manpages through man
(e.g. "man --warnings -l octave.1") yields:
<standard input>:20: warning: `LO' not defined
