I can't remember the exact reason for it, but roughly, I believe it
has to do with other packages dependent on Octave and of course, on
specific versions of Octave.
Rafael Laboissiere and his heir apparent Thomas Weber had very good
reasons for keeping the version name in the package name, so perhaps
one of them can provide an explanation.
