Version: 2004.11.16-7
Severity: normal



Hi,

The extra packages of octave-forge are not installed . I 
was in particular looking for tk_octave. I couldn't find
a note in /usr/share/doc/octave-forge explaining why the
package maintainer decided to drop the extra packages.

Kindly include extra packages ( that are "free" ) and
put a note in the debian README file for octave-forge,
listing the packages being dropped for whatever reason.
Hopefully you would agree the only pertinent reasons may
be violation of DFSG or some sought of dependency problem.

I also think that we should trust the upstream authors about with
components of octave-forge should be installed or not.  I am therefore
closing this bug report.
