Most people will simply install packages for the dependencies anyway,
so secondary dependencies will be handled in some automatic way.  In
any case, I think it is reasonable to only list the first level of
dependencies.  Why should the Octave documentation list build
dependencies for other packages?  Shouldn't those other dependencies
be handled recursively (i.e., I'll find out that there are
dependencies for building qhull when I build it)?
