I see. So adding a drop-in file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ is considered
bad practice and is discouraged.

Actually there is no real need to tell the dynamic linker to look for
this additional directory, because as I said before, the .mex files are
being loaded from within Octave and liboctmex is already in memory.

So an alternative fix is just to tell dpkg-shlibdeps to stop
complaining, by passing it the -l option.

Ideally this would be done by dh-octave, so that we don’t have to
modify all individual packages, but I don’t know whether this is
possible.
