I'm not sure that this is really a bug in plplot. libplplot-dev provides support for a range of languages, including C++. It seems draconian to insist that all the bindings libraries for C++, fortran, ada, ocaml, lua and d are installed if the user just wants to do C++ development. That is why these are only recommends not depends. The package description does say
"To use a particular language you will also need to install the libplplot-xxx package for that language." This is a change from previous versions of plplot, but one that seems sensible to me given the expansion in the number of supported languages in plplot. Having re-ready policy I think that libplplot-dev either needs to depend on _all_ language libraries (which I will do for now) or, possibly better, the different language development files should be split off into different packages.
