That's easy, you don't. You simply install octave-forge on top of octave.

Debian users have the added bonus of prebuild packages for octave-forge,
octave-ci, octave-epstk, octave-plplot, octave-gpc and, last but not least,
octave-sp from your very own semidef-oct port. Plus other goodies like
matwrap and libinline-octave-perl.
