Not if they were only used by owncloud (and I’d rather let people who
are still using the other packages left take care of their maintenance
anyway), unless they have a user-base on their own. Have a look at the
already filed “Useless in Debian” RC-bugs in the ownCloud (and PEAR)
DDPO to get an idea of the clean-up work in progress.

All dependencies are bundled in the upstream tarball anyway, you won’t
need to use system-wide dependencies.
