The path to the root package directory is added by octave. It is only
the subdirectories that are not accessible. I have the following other
packages, and none of those seem to add subdirectories to the
installation path:
audio communications control data-smoothing general image io linear-algebra
mechanics miscellaneous nan nnet octcdf optim plot queueing signal specfun
splines statistics struct symbolic
The io packages seems to parse the installation directory from pkg('list')
output for different reasons, but I find this quite ugly:
pkglist = pkg ("list");
javapkgind = find (cellfun(@(x) strcmp(x.name, "java"), pkglist), 1, "first");

Any reasons why you do not consider the solution I suggested?
