The Debian builds are a real PITA due to slice, which is a perl utility which requires the addition of some binary perl libraries to the scratchbox environment (Do a search for "Debian slice" and grab the .dsc, .diff, .tar.gz and look at the deps).
Here's fixed packages of slice (ran the first part of octave building to see if slice ran and it did):

If it wont work for you, do:
Code:
export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/perl ; export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
and then do your dpkg-buildpackage in octave folder.
