That seems excessive to me. The fact that OF packages are not auto- loaded is the consequence of a global setting (in Octave itself), so it does not make sense to document it in individual packages. I would rather update the README.Debian of octave. It currently tells never to use the "pkg" command, which is bad advice, since that command is needed to load the packages. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
