Below is a debdiff patch that fixes the problem.  It essentially changes the
way of setting OCT_INSTALL_DIR in configure.ac.  This is done in a much
simpler way using octave-config, BTW.  Note that this implies running
autoconf.  The patch below contains the necessary changes to configure. This
is ugly, I know, but works.  

Also, the build-dependency is changed to octave3.0-headers.

The package builds fine and the function seems to work.  However, I could
not test it because I do not not have a HDF5 file with the appropriate
slices.
