Hi Anton, gitstats is not the only package. There are few more depending on gnuplot-nox: boinc-cgi-stripchart, gitstats, gnuplot-mode, libchart-gnuplot-perl, polygraph, probcons-extra. I don't know these tools, but I guess there will be the same dependency problem as with gitstats.
Could you please add 'Provides: gnuplot-nox' to make life a bit easier until other packages are updated? I can file bugreports for these 5 packages, but before I do that, how exactly should other packages which require non-interactive mode to render few plots depend on gnuplot packages? (I will link this bug from other bug reports.) Thank you!
