my fault. I forgot to remove an experimental octave version before 
building the package.
I am uploading a 0.2.0-2 version built with octave-3.8.1-1

don't worry that is right.

on the 0.2.0-2 version you should see:

help serial
'serial' is a function from the file 
/usr/lib/octave/packages/instrument-control-0.2.0/x86_64-unknown-cygwin-api-v49+/serial.oct

 -- Loadable Function: SERIAL = serial ([PATH], [BAUDRATE], [TIMEOUT])

     Open serial interface.

     PATH - the interface path of type String.  If omitted defaults to
     '/dev/ttyUSB0'.
     BAUDRATE - the baudrate of interface.  If omitted defaults to
     115200.
     TIMEOUT - the interface timeout value.  If omitted defaults to
     blocking call.

     The serial() shall return instance of OCTAVE_SERIAL class as the
     result SERIAL.
