Bug#989028: gnuplot.info: missing terminal types

[Vincent Lefevre]

Control: retitle -1 gnuplot.info: all the terminal types are missing because the build directory is not the source directory in Debian
Control: found -1 6.0.2+dfsg1-2

Let's give a more detailed title.

I recall that the issue comes from the fact that for the build of
the Debian gnuplot binary packages, the build directory is not the
same as the source directory, while docs/doc2texi.el requires them
to be identical.

I had provided a simple patch for the build of the Debian package at

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=989028;filename=gnuplot-trm-path.patch;msg=26

which just does

   "Name of the gnuplot.doc file.")
-(defvar d2t-terminal-directory (expand-file-name "../term/")
+(defvar d2t-terminal-directory (expand-file-name "../../../term/")
   "Location of .trm files in gnuplot source tree.")

A patch to support various locations of the build directory would be
more complex.
