octave-epstk for Debian
-----------------------

The Debian package for epsTK introduces an improvement as regards the path
for searching *.psd files (files containing symbols used in the edsymbol
function).  A new global variable called ePsdPath is available.  This
variable should contain a real path, like LOADPATH, allowing users to put
its own *.psd files in a private directory, without losing the access to the
*.psd files in ePath.  ePsdPath defaults to the value of ePath.

Two new symbol files are added: tria-center.psd and ftria-center.psd,
containing centered triangles.  The original tria.psd and ftria.psd symbols
have their reference points on one of the sides of the triangle.

Another patch was applied to the Debian package, which allows arbitrary
text in the tics labels for the plot axes.  The desired labels are put in
the *ValueFormat global variables.  Below is an example:

  eXAxisNorthValueFormat = {"","A","","","","","","","","","","B"};
  eXAxisSouthValueFormat = {""};
  for i = 2 : 12
    eXAxisSouthValueFormat {i} = sprintf ("%d", i);
  endfor

In upstream epsTK, these variables are scalar integers specifying the
decimal precision of the labels.  With the patch, the variables are checked
to be cells and, if it is the case, their elements are printed instead of
the numeric tic labels.  This patch keeps the API backwards compatible.
