I suggest reading octave2.9's package description, quoted here for
convenience:

	This is a dummy package for easying the transition from
	octave2.9 to octave3.0.  Once octave3.0 is installed in the
	system, this package can be removed.

The octave2.9 package will pull in octave3.0.

These are 'add-ons', aka the octave-forge packages. What you need or
don't need depends on your usage.
