I am the person to blame, as I am the maintainer of the plplot-* and
octave-plplot packages for Debian.  I screwed things up during the last
upload to the Debian's Incoming FTP site.  I solved already the problem
(at least I hope so), and the new release of the plplot packages should
appear soon at the FTP mirrors.

N.B.: Next time you ask questions specifically about Debian, you might
consider sending them to either address@hidden or
address@hidden (the second one is not for user
related questions, but is more guaranteed to reach the relevant
people).
