Bug#769235: about the build-depends-on-metapackage lintian error

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Source: gnuplot5
Version: 5.0.0~rc+dfsg2-1
Severity: normal

Hi :)
I see you added a lintian override to this package to override
build-depends-on-metapackage error, triggered by a buil-dep on qt5-default.

Well, there is a solution you may consider, attached to this email.
I run a test build against the resulting package and it builds fine (also the
autopkgtests are marked as PASS, so \o/).

Thanks for maintaining gnuplot5.
