Okay, I've dug into it.

Version jump:
 The version currently in Debian is 1.5.14. Is it really necessary
 to use the CVS version instead of the last stable 2.1.01? Or am I looking
 at something complete different at
 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148451 ?

Lintian complains:
 W: yorick: menu-command-not-in-package /usr/share/menu/yorick:3 rlwrap
 W: yorick: menu-icon-missing yorick32x32.xpm
 W: yorick: menu-icon-missing yorick16x16.xpm

Testing:
 Is there an easy way for idiots like me to try simple plots or something
 like that with your package? The "yorick" binary greets me but leaves
 me pretty alone. :)

Cheers
 Christoph
