         keepdir /usr/lib/octave/${OR}/site/exec/${ARC}
         keepdir /usr/lib/octave/${OR}/site/oct/${ARC}
         keepdir /usr/lib/octave/api-v49+/site/exec/${ARC}
         keepdir /usr/lib/octave/site/oct/api-v49+/${ARC}
...
         keepdir /usr/lib/octave/site/exec
         keepdir /usr/lib/octave/site/oct


  $ cygcheck -l octave |grep exec
/usr/lib/octave/3.8.2/exec/x86_64-unknown-cygwin/octave-gui.exe
/usr/lib/octave/3.8.2/site/exec/.keep-octave
/usr/lib/octave/api-v49+/site/exec/.keep-octave
/usr/lib/octave/site/exec/.keep-octave
