Thanks for your proposal. I am aware of the long-standing bugs in my PLplot
packages. I am participating to the upstream developement of PLplot at
SourceForge and the Debian stuff is even at the CVS repository.
I have had hectic times these last months, because I switched jobs and
moved from one country to another. I would really prefer that no NMU is
done, since I have very specific changes to do in the packages. In
particular, there is a new dynamic loading mechanism for teh drivers that
will have impact in the packaging.
The dust have not yet settled on my side, but packaging the 5.1.0 release is
at the top of my ToDo list. If you do not hear anything from me in, say,
one month from now, go ahead and do the NMU, if you see fit.
