I guess that question belongs on the

So this is a problem for the people who make Ubuntu packages?
But anyway, I agree that it would probably be best to have a gnuplot
dependency, but I'm sure someone will disagree because they don't want
to have to pull in all of X for some reason. OTOH, maybe it would be
possible to depend on either gnuplot-nox or gnuplot, and install the
-nox version if X doesn't seem to be installed. I have no idea how
hard that would be to implement.
