The packages flag their default behavior in the description and those marked "Autoload: yes" are loaded at startup.I think he meant, when somebody does "apt get octave" or "yum install octave" does it automatically download a bunch of packages. Right now packages are outside the scope of such systems. There isn't any "yum install octave-forge".
Actually, there is an octave-forge package, so you can do "yum install octave-forge". And my concern was that those octave packages (that don't replace or change core octave behavior) should be automatically available to all users.
Going forward we will probably split the octave-forge package into individual packages, but the same idea applies. We might keep an octave-forge meta package around that brings in the other packages as well.
