I don't think so, they are not in the same dependency loop. But having
everything in the same hint doesn't hurt anyways.

We are going to request the removal of octave-parallel and semidef-oct.

The other packages are not maintained by the Debian Octave Group, so we
cannot act directly. We have filed bugs against libgdf (#666894) and
pfstools (#666959). A bug still needs to be filed against libsml, we’ll
do it shortly.

Best,
