 Ok, Gnuplot is being done by me and we will do it gradually...maybe
open a tracker bug to collect all this, as have been done with
USE=tcltk/tcl/tk, qt/qt3/qt4 and gtk/gtk2?
<URL:https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137785>
 First, collect all packages having latex/tetex/tex USE flags and check
if actions are needed, then cc maintainers and give them some weeks to
rework it.

 Let's decide on a per package basis.
