Bug#940085: plplot breaks gnudatalanguage autopkgtest: PLplot installation lacks the requested driver: xwin

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of plplot the autopkgtest of gnudatalanguage fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
plplot from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
plplot                 from testing    5.15.0+dfsg-3
gnudatalanguage        from testing    0.9.9-10
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of plplot to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?
