Let's make a deal: I'll help you with the virtual package as soon as you
provide at least one of octave-forge's packages packaged for Debian.
I'll take it for granted that you will care for the package with every
new (ABI-breaking) Octave version.

I currently don't have the time for this and it seems all the other
people complaining about this don't have the time either or are happy
with Octave's pkg.m.
