Lintian, the Debian package checker, is complaining about the octave package, regarding the Exec entry in its desktop file. 

Indeed, according to the [http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#mime-types
Desktop Entry Specification], since MIME types are registered through the MimeType key, then the "[…] application is expected to be able to reasonably open files of these types using the command listed in the Exec key."

The attached changeset is a proposal for fixing the problem reported here.
