Package: octave2.1
Version: 1:2.1.73-13
Severity: wishlist

Seeing how gnuplot is the default plotting engine in Octave and the one
that the Octave team works with the most, I think its priority as an
octave dependence should be upgraded from suggests: to recommends:. I
was quite surprised to see today that aptitude installed octave but that
it didn't pull in gnuplot.
