Ah, right "apt-get build-dep octave3.2" was the command I
was looking for. Thanks!
Now I usually generate deb by
sudo auto-apt run ./configure
sudo make
sudo checkinstall
But I am not sure whether this is the best way of generating
a deb pkg, well I am almost sure that the dependencies are
not built correctly in the sense that if somebody wants to
install my deb on his machine dpkg would *not* download the
necessary pkg. [1]
However I just run
sudo auto-apt run ./configure
sudo make
And started octave with
./octave-run
and it seems to run smoothly including the fltk stuff!

Hm to be completely honest: I'd love to replace matlab by octave,
but for this certain commands have to work, otherwise I cannot
use it for my courses.
As far as the Ubuntu packages are concerned, well I consider the
Debian DEB system much superior to RPM, that is why I switched to
Debian some years ago (and to Ubuntu since their control center
was so much better, I have not checked Debian lately, their
upgrades are more frequently but yes some of their packages are
not really maintained.)
Now what I dislike is, among other things, the extreme
modularisation debian is so much fond off. I don't see why octave
could not be packed in one single deb! Besides they are a little
picky by letting people become maintainers. So I don't know what
to tell you.

Footnotes:
[1] I know the correct way would be to put the deb on a web
server. The user should add the server to his source.list file
run apt-get update and then install octave3.4. But also in this
szenario I presume my generated deb file does not resolve
correctly the dependencies.
