I think it makes sense to remove all autoload-yes patches. I do not
remember why we took the decision of enforcing autoload for all
Octave-Forge packages in Debian, but it was probably not a good
decision.
The decision was taken because some packages required some other
packages. When running the testsuite during the autobuilding (or
sometimes even during the normal build), these packages would break, as
the dependencies were not fulfilled - packages were installed, but not
loaded.
