Bug Description
Binary package hint: qtoctave
Steps to reproduce:
On a Ubuntu Lucid system, issue the following command
$ aptitude show qtoctave | grep octave3.0
Expected output:
<blank>
(grep found nothing)
Actual output:
documentation with octave3.0-htmldoc.
Proposed fix: simply update the package description.
Remark: This is not a big deal for us command line users coz we can see the dependency anyway. But point-and-click desktop users will tend to use Ubuntu Software Center. The description could confuse them.
