I would leave it out until it is fixed to not install functions that
should not be used with Octave.  Otherwise, we are just going to see
more people who install it and load it anyway, thinking they want
every available package.  Then when Octave can't even make a simple
plot, they probably conclude that Octave is junk because it can't even
make a simple plot.  Sometimes they may search the web or ask on the
mailing list and find a solution for the problem, but wouldn't it be
better to completely avoid the whole problem by not providing this
package at all unless it is fixed?
