  That is fair. :-)

  Quentin Spencer (the packager)  send several messages explaining the deta=
ils.
One place where I have found it was here, there was also another
message to fedora extras mailing list.
http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/help-octave/2005/3803

  There he explains some of reasoning in package and also how to build
a customized
local package. Notice that  other packages, i.e. blas and lapack, are
prepared to
work with a custom package.

  That is explained above. For now the package follows the same scheme
as debian.
One goal is that later the package chooses on real time the best
version to use, using ld
to find the right version  depending on the arch used.
