Octave-plplot 5.8.0RC1~3 works fine for me for i386 on testing / unstable. Can you confirm exactly what you are doing? The octave instructions are from upstream and not Debian specific. They are also out of date (as it says at the top of the file). Under Debian the basic commands are in the path. You don't need to add anything to .octaverc. All you need to do is start octave, type toggle_plplot_use to switch from gnuplot plotting (default) to octave plotting, then type the plot commands. You need to make sure you install the required drivers. For interactive display this is likely to be plplot9-driver-xwin. I agree the documentation is out of date and I will correct it upstream. toggle_plplot_use does not use LOADPATH on octave2.9 it uses addpath instead.
