That is, if I tell Octave to ignore the system-wide octaverc file,
packages are normally loaded, else all packages are seen are not
installed.
Tha reason is that the distributed /etc/octave3.1.conf file sets the
pkg list to be /usr/share/octave/packages/3.1/octave_packages, which is
empty. The real list, built by previous versions of Octave, is at
/usr/share/octave/octave_packages, and that's the place where the pkg
command goes when Octave is called with -qf.

This was changed recently and done on purpose. Note that the directory
where the octave_packages file lies now is versioned, i.e
/usr/share/octave/packages/3.0/ vs. /usr/share/octave/packages/3.1/. Our
intention is to make the octave-forge packages only available for the stable
version of Octave, which is currently octave3.0.
If you wish to have the Octave packages for octave3.1 you will have to
install them by hand. After all, octave3.1 is in the "experimental"
distribution and it is, huh, so to speak, ... experimental! In other words,
do not expect any "normal" behavior from this package.
I am hereby closing this bug report.
