Hi Axel,
But I'm not sure if that's what we want and I'm especially not sure of the implications for other packages (which might depend on plplot's ADA or D support).
At least, "apt-rdepends -r " does not show dependencies for libplplot-ada1 and libplplot-d. Therefore, I would support removing them until there is a fix for them.
There are quite a few packages directly or indirectly depending on plplot, so it would be worth to make compromises to get it working again.
Best Ole
