Fink Is Not Kubuntu.

But, seriously, it's because none of the Fink maintainers of gnuplot,
including myself, set it up to do that.  I'm not an emacs expert, so I
don't happen to know what needs to be done beyond the incantations used
by most of our packages.  I've released a new revision to unstable that
does this.

It's what came with the gnuplot tarball, and our gnuplot isn't _that_ old.
