Ok, this sounds like a working procedure to me. If outputs are

This is the advantage of Octave-Forge.  Packages can be more daring than the core, which must be more conservative and move more slowly.  My point was that it looks like the maintenance burden would be smaller if a single style, whatever it is, were chosen.  But beyond that it's the package author's decision what to do.
