This no longer appears to be the case in bionic (which is what I have to
hand at the moment to test).

That said, while the situation you report isn't necessarily ideal, it's
also not something we would regard as a bug.  ubuntu-desktop makes a
certain set of opinionated choices about what packages should be
installed on a standard desktop system, but it's quite possible that the
packages that something else needs to be build will conflict with that;
we make no guarantees about that sort of thing.  You should normally
build source packages in a chroot (e.g. using sbuild) or a container to
avoid problems of this kind and to avoid pollution from other things you
happen to have installed.

** Changed in: gnuplot (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
