Your diagnosis was fully right.  In order to fix the problem, we could 
either add gnuplot-nox to the list of build-dependencies or exclude 
ezplot.m and ezplot3.m from the list of automatic unit testing files. I 
opted for the second solution.  The new debian/changelog is ready to go 
in Git, so you might upload version 2. to see whether Bug#778745 goes 
really away.
