It is not uninstallable for me at least. Both gnuplot-x11 and gnuplot-qt
provide gnuplot-nox, so either one will satisfy both of the depends.

The change I see with 4.6.5-2 is gnuplot and gnuplot-nox can no longer
be installed together. Installing gnuplot-nox now removes gnuplot, and
installing gnuplot requires either gnuplot-x11 or gnuplot-qt and
uninstalls gnuplot-nox.

Whether or not that's desired I can't say, but that's the effect I see
here at least.
