Indeed, thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce this here with
pbuilder.

This seems not related on a first glance. The build system uses the
availability of mkoctfile to check if Octave's development libraries
are installed.

And the last NMU disabled octave support. (See #789619 and
https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/plplot/news/20151015T162248Z.html)

Those files are at least present at
./bindings/ada/plplot_traditional.ads and
./bindings/ada/plplot_auxiliary.ads after the failed build…

…, but not somewhere under debian/build_tmp/.

Simply copying bindings/ada/*.ads during the configure stage of
debian/rules to either debian/build_tmp/bindings/ada/,
debian/build_tmp/examples/ada/CMakeFiles/x00a.dir/ or
debian/build_tmp/examples/ada/ doesn't solve the problem, though.
