okay I created a branch called 2.9transition were we can branch
any of the packages for releated to this transition. I also
created the octave-forge branch. I volunteer myself to be in
charge of sync/merges with the trunk, anyone can work in the branch of
course. <br>

thats cool. I personally HATE virtual packages anyway, so I wouldn't won't to require user to actually instal one.<br>
