Because current ruby-pgplot in Wheezy is 0.1.3-2, these three FTBFS fixed
in 0.1.3-{3,4,5}. I forget sent unblock request about them. Sorry for my
rudeness. The debdiff output I sent is between 0.1.3-2(in wheezy) and
0.1.3-6(in unstable)

Although there were no bug reports, these library(libX11, libpng.so)
needs in order to execute ruby scripts using ruby-pgplot. Thus this is
bug fix and not new feature. I am sorry whose contents which I wrote to
changelog were inaccurate.

This change is done in ruby-pgplot ver. 0.1.3-3. because of RD2 page
generation issue:
rdtool: rd2 generates broken layouted manpages
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676154
The rdtool in Wheezy(0.6.34-4) can't output html/manpages correctly
under some situations. I'm upstream maintainer of rdtool, and these bug
is already fixed in upstream release. However this is not part of
Wheezy. Thus, some rdtool outputs (html/manpages) into debian/doc in
order to avoid another FTBFS in Wheezy. I know, this is workaround and
I'll fix them when rdtool package is updated.
Best Wishes,
