Bug#722011: gnuplot: plot using with columns and format does not work in stable

[Daniel F. Smith]

Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.6.0-8
Severity: normal

There is a notation in the current upstream gnuplot in
gnuplot/src/datafile.c:1534:

1534    /* Allow a format specifier after the enumeration of columns. */
1535    /* Note: This was left out by mistake in versions 4.6.0 + 4.6.1 */
1536    if (!END_OF_COMMAND && isstring(c_token)) {
1537            df_format = try_to_get_string();
1538            if (!valid_format(df_format))
1539                    int_error(c_token, "format must have 1-7 conversions of
type double (%%lf)");
1540    }

(It's at the end of function plot_option_using(); see
http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnuplot/gnuplot/src/datafile.c?view=markup

Version 4.6.0 is the current stable release.  Is there any chance of getting
this de-ommisified in the wheezy patch set?
It's annoying, but not showstopping.

Thanks.
