That was because of something stupid that I did.  See my latest post
at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726069 for the
sordid details. :-)

In sum, the patch now applies cleanly and produces (via apt-src) good
debs.  When PLplot builds against the resulting patched Debian
system libraries, the pdf device now passes all tests without any obvious
run-time issues.  So assuming this simple patch is accepted by the
Debian developer of the libhpdf debs (from libharu source), then the
pdf device you plan to build as part of your deb packages for PLplot
should just work.
