Okay, I am doing it hereby.

I agree with you:

$ apt-cache show octave2.9 | grep ^Size
Size: 7475116
$ apt-cache show octave2.9-headers | grep ^Size
Size: 344298

Merging both packages will result into an increase of only 5% in the size of
octave2.9.

I'm closing these bugs, following the rationale already given in the bug
reports: Moving pkg.m into octave3.0-headers is not possible, moving
merging octave3.0 and octave3.0-headers results in a large increase of
installed packages which users may never need.
