Hello.
The autopkgtests are failing with
   ...gcc... -lplplotada -lplplot ...
   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lplplot: No such file or directory
The linker is searching for the /usr/lib/MULTIARCH/libplplot.so symbolic 
link,
but does not find it because libplplot-dev is not installed.
This was hidden before 
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/plplot/-/commit/e62a3beaf7e3e7e6856dc4ca45f8d20df36a1671
because the test dependencies were not minimal.
So libplplotada-dev must
   Depend: libplplot-dev (= ${binary:Version})
instead of
   Depending: libplplot17 (= ${binary:Version})
   Recommending: libplplot-dev
All the best.
