If you install tetex-base first, it installs an empty %p/share/texmf-local directory, which gnuplot will happily drop its files in. On the other hand, if gnuplot is already installed dpkg doesn't want to drop an empty %p/share/texmf-local on top of that installed by gnuplot.
I'd guess that gnuplot needs a Depends: tetex-base rather than just a BuildDepends to resolve this. -- Alexander K.
