I think debhelper 7 might be a "false" dependency. I replaced it by 6
and gnuplot 4.2.4 built fine. That is, I had to do another adjustment.
The 3-year-old libedit in Hardy does not have the remove_history
function. The use of remove_history was already ifdef'd so the code
change is minimal, I refreshed the 03_use_libedit.diff so the debdiff is
longer though. The only consequence of this change is that duplicate
entries in the command history are not removed. Test builds are in my
PPA.

What worries me more is a regression in functionality in this newer
upstream version: I can no longer zoom in on a graph by right-clicking.
