I seem to remember that some time ago there was a discussion on the
Octave lists about removing package autoloading. This seems confirmed by
this message:

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/educate-after-quot-pkg-install-quot-td4669189.html#a4669190

Maybe John or Jordi could comment on this issue?

If this is confirmed, we should probably remove all our "autoload: yes"
patches, to better reflect upstream decision.
