Unfortunately, it's not the case, as the implementation of the
‘qt’ terminal (as part of the main Gnuplot binary) itself relies
on QLocalSocket, and thus depends on the Qt libraries.
So, I'd like to bring back my original suggestion:
• the ‘gnuplot’ package is no longer transitional, and contains
everything from the former ‘gnuplot-x11’ package, except the
‘gnuplot_x11’ driver binary;
• the ‘gnuplot-nox’ package is no longer built with
‘--without-x’;
• the new ‘gnuplot-x11’ package only provides the aforementioned
driver binary, and depends on either ‘gnuplot’ or
‘gnuplot-nox’ for the main Gnuplot binary.
FWIW, I've built the packages as described, and put them there:
http://waterlily.siamics.net/~ivan/mini-dinstall/1gray-misc/amd64/
http://waterlily.siamics.net/~ivan/mini-dinstall/1gray-misc/source/
A brief testing has revealed no new issues, but I'm yet to
document my changes properly, and still hope that these changes
could be accepted for Debian Wheezy.
TIA.
PS. Actually, there's a thing I haven't tested so far: should gnuplot
from gnuplot-nox be started with the DISPLAY environment
variable set, but without gnuplot-x11 installed, it may fail to
produce a nice error message.
