Comment 3 for bug 1706596

These are very good points. Practically this would mean the following variables should be set during configuration:

--without-opengl
--without-qt
--without-fltk
--disable-java

I would be fine with dropping java, yet the dependency is "default-jre-headless". If java gets additionally removed maybe the proposed package name should change to octave-minimal?

BTW: would plotting directly to files still work via "gnuplot-nox" and no X11? Or would the "libcairo" dependency of gnuplot impede this as it has an X11 dependency?
