Cancel that - someone already did. It appears that libpdf (which
gnuplot needs to produce PDF output) is non-free, and that is why
Debian's gnuplot does not use it. The suggested workaround is to
produce Postscript output ("set terminal postscript") and use ps2pdf to
convert them:

Scroll down to read the package maintainer's (Thimo's) discussion of the
issue.
