In the process of upgrading the octave-control package for the new 
upstream version (2.8.0), I saw this entry in the NEWS file:

   ** In order to comply with modified Octave Forge rules, the package no longer
      auto-loads.  See "help pkg" for details on auto-loading.

Where can these "modified Octave Forge rules" be found?

I am remember correctly, we decided to enforce auto-loading in the Debian 
packages.  Is it time to revise our rules?
