debian Octave 3.0 package not contain mkoctfile?

[Thomas L. Scofield]

Yesterday I installed Octave 3.0 using apt-get on a linux box running  
SiDuX (debian-based linux distribution).  I tried to install the  
image package from octave-forge, but the pkg command responded that  
there was no mkoctfile.  There is, as I came to realize, debian  
packages for many of the octave-forge packages, including one for the  
image package.  When I installed it via apt-get, it seems to have  
installed just fine (Octave 3.0 now recognizes that there is an  
imread function).  I installed some other debian packages such as  
octave-pkg-dev, but I still do not have mkoctfile in my path.  I  
believe the Octave 3.0 running on my Mac laptop was installed using  
fink (which uses .deb packages, too, right?), and I have mkoctfile  
there.  I'm confused as to why it isn't there on the linux box.
