Stephan,

I feel sorry for missing the important part in your initial request.

For the packages available at Octave Forge you could use the 
documentation there. I guess you mean these packages with the term 
“official” packages.

http://octave.sourceforge.net/functions_by_package.php

This page contains an index of functions from all packages (but not from 
Octave core). The format is different from the index of Octave core, so 
you probably have to create a new python script for indexing them.

Also, please note that some of the packages are deprecated and the list 
does not contain class methods (cf. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44198 ).

A different approach: Select the packages that you are interested in and 
build the function index from these pages (these include class methods 
and should be complete):
http://octave.sourceforge.net/[packagename]/overview.html

The functions for Octave core can be found here:
