Is there a _spec_ for 'pkg.m' ? I have my own version, which is still broken, 
but less - at least, for me.

Looking into the code and playing with it I've come to the conclusion that 
_conceptually_ package management in Octave is not well defined, that's why I'm 
asking: is there a _functional_ spec telling what 'pkg.m' has to do ?

...

Looking at http://wiki.octave.org/Code_sprint:_pkg.m :

"Remove -global and -local flags  
        * Those flags are currently ignored internally anyways so they should 
disappear "

- huh ?

They are not ignored, and packages are installed into different locations.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
