Why not?  The info directory is made just for that: having the manuals
grouped together into a consistent framework.  That's the first place I
look for documentation, and given that it is an Octave package, it seems
natural.  Even if the original package does not contain a compiled info
file, it is very easy to produce one and install it.  Why not?

I added that line just below the OdePkg (octave-odepkg) one.  As far as
I can tell, that is the right place, because there is no such thing as
an Octave structure.  Am I missing anything?
