Hi,

I did build tk_octave locally. As Dirk pointed the decision to not
install some packages in extra is an an upstream decision I guess
you may want to close to downgrade this bug in view of this. (I think
the NOINSTALL file flags packages that are not ment to be installed).

However I would note that packages in extra are not in violation of DSFG. 
tk_octave in particular is public domain. I think the problem is with 
conflicts and stability. For instance tk_octave has compilation errors 
when linked against the current version of vtk (line 705 of tk_interp.cc 
has an ambiguous function call).

regards
balbir thomas
