Package: gnuplot-nox
Version: 4.2.0-4
Severity: minor

The latest gnuplot-nox, due to the addition of wxt terminal support,
wants to suck in an unreasonable number of dependencies via libwxgtk2.6-0.

This is annoying when generating statistics graphs on small headless
router boxes.

Exactly why the non-X version of gnuplot requires GTK+ runtime libraries
is unclear.  Although reading the history of #414395 makes it clearer,
wouldn't gnuplot-x11 be a better choice?  Note that it requires 11 MB more
libraries (on x86-64) than gnuplot-x11_4.2.0-3.

Apologies for only ever complaining, but that's the nature of bug reports.
