Bug#754603: gnuplot-qt does not provide gnuplot-nox, but package description says otherwise

[Anton Gladky]

Hi Josef, thanks for bugreport.

I think we should fix the documentation, that is true.
I do not really see any reason, why gitstats depends on
gnuplot-nox, not gnuplot itself. gnuplot-nox is the minimal
version of gnuplot, so it should not be any problems to use
-x11 or -qt.

Please ask gistats maintainer to change dependency.

Thanks

Anton
