Package: gsl-doc-pdf
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: minor

/usr/share/doc/gsl-doc-pdf/gsl-ref.pdf.gz lacks some of the pictures
(see e.g. page 194)

as far as I can tell, that file is generated from the texinfo file by
'texi2dvi --pdf', which in turn calls pdftex to format the resulting
TeX stream.

some of the pictures included have been generated by gnuplot as postscript
specials embedded in tex code ---see e.g., rand-gaussian-tail.tex--- and
pdftex is unhappy with "Non-PDF specials":  the tex part is formatted,
the postscript part is ignored.

maybe it could be wise to modify doc/Makefile* in order to have the pdf
file depend on the ps file, and use ps2pdf to generate the former from
the latter.  at least, going through the PS works for me.

best regards
g.b.
