Public bug reported:

In bionic, pdl package (based on 2.019-5 upstream) had working
PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT interface.

In focal, pdl package is based on 2.020-3 and upstream changed the
generation of PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT interface to only happen if the
build machine has libpgplot* libraries installed.

Thus in focal, the pdl package does not have PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT
interface anymore.

(This seems to affect the Debian/testing pdl package, too, since it is
based on 2.025 upstream version.)

The PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT interface generated (if libpgplot* libraries
are installed build-time) apparently checks for the existence of
libpgplot* libraries in the run-time machine, so it could well be
included in the generated/packaged pdl package.

Could the future updates of pdl package in focal (and later) be built in
an environment where libpgplot* libraries are installed and thus it
would then include the PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT interface?
