The following patch should do the trick:

--- rules	(revision 381)
+++ rules	(working copy)
@@ -32,6 +32,7 @@
 cmake: cmake-stamp
 cmake-stamp:
 	dh_testdir
+	ls -l /usr/bin/oct*
 	cmake -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=YES .
 	touch cmake-stamp
 

However, I am reluctant to do it because the octaviz package takes way
too long to build.  Trying to debug by uploading new versions to unstable
is suboptimal under these circumstances. 

The correct way to act in such cases is by asking the debian-admin people
to install all the build-dependencies in one of the project machines and
investigate the problem there.  I am afraid only developers have access
to the majority of the Debian project machines.  This will severily limit
the number of people who can actually debug the package.
