Details:

Gnome Software (and other GUI package managers) uses metainfo.xml files to
link pkgs as "Add-ons", in this case to GNU Octave.

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Metadata-Addon.html

Here is a patch to add such a file.  For now, it is included in the dist
tarball.  But for now its up to downstream packagers to do something with this
file (typically validate it and install it in "/usr/share/appdata" or
similar).
