Yes, but built from source, and the source of octave2.9-htmldoc contains the
texinfo source.
qtoctave doesn't, which is a breach of the GPL: you must be able to distribute
the preferred form of
modification, and not having it in the upstream sources - even when we know
where they come from -
makes it delicate for us to distribute it.
In other words, any users should be able to do
apt-get source qtoctave
and modify the documentation, which is not possible as the texinfo source is
missing.
