Reopening because it was apparently closed from a wrong supposition.

Because it now has to be generated! I agree that this isn't nice
for the end user because he would have to get the necessary tools
to generate it, but here this is the Debian build system.

There may be some build dependencies to add. But I don't know
exactly.

In debian/rules, you need to change

        cd $(BUILDDIR_X11)/docs; $(MAKE) pdf; $(MAKE) ps; $(MAKE) html; ls

to

        cd $(BUILDDIR_X11)/docs; $(MAKE) pdf; $(MAKE) ps; $(MAKE) html; $(MAKE) info; ls

However, there's a bug, which I've just reported upstream:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1606/

What happens is the following. The gnuplot.texi file is now generated
from gnuplot.doc, thus it is put in the build directory instead of
being in the source directory. The bug is that the make rule still
gets gnuplot.texi from the source directory (as it was there in the
past). So, in docs/Makefile.am,

  $(MAKEINFO) -I$(srcdir) $(srcdir)/gnuplot.texi --no-split --output=$@

needs to be changed to

  $(MAKEINFO) -I$(srcdir) gnuplot.texi --no-split --output=$@

I can try to prepare a patch if you want.
