I included my reasoning in the email when I set it to grave. 
Unfortunately, since I was using bts and forgot to cc the bug, it did 
not appear here (though it can be seen by clicking "full text").

 >I can confirm this bug. gnuplot-qt clearly states in its description 
that it provides both gnuplot-nox and gnuplot-x11, yet the Provides: 
field only lists gnuplot-nox. Because the packages conflict, one cannot 
simply install gnuplot-x11 to make up for this error.

in question unusable".

I will not change it back without some reply, but this is hardly "minor".
