Metis is optional.  It is also not free software with a GPL compatible
license, so you should not distribute Octave binaries that are linked
with it.  Instead, build the SuiteSparse library in a way that it does
not depend on Metis.

What info on the web would that be?

Sorry, I don't know the details about the best version of SuiteSparse
to use, but the Debian packages are apparently based on 3.0.0.
