Thanks for your replies, Rex, Kevin.

Since correctness is really important here, if upstream does not test
the toolboxes against Octave, we shouldn't either---we don't want users
to interpret the availability of a toolbox for Octave in Fedora as
upstream-support. I think we could:

- provide toolboxes where upstream supports Octave in the Fedora
  repositories (for both Octave and Matlab)
- Use COPR to provide Matlab only toolboxes (as I think the above rule
  does not apply to COPR).

Would that be OK?
