You should not do that because you remove also the debian-specific
patches which also change the paths where everything is installed!

The problem is (I found it out now), that when you call
dpkg-buildpackage for the first time, the build system creates a patch
with the changes that you made (with the context terminal). If after the
first build you change something, running dpkg-buildpackage again does
not work because the sources cannot be unpatched.

I guess, you downloaded the wrong context.trm, maybe the HTML-view of
the git Repository. The context.trm which I got from
<https://raw.github.com/mojca/gnuplot/master/term/context.trm> has only
2395 lines!

Further, if you want to compile it with 4.4 you must remove the string
"| TERM_FONTSCALE | TERM_IS_LATEX" in line 2222, which is not supported
in 4.4.0.

So completely remove the gnuplot-4* directory, and do all the steps
again from scratch (apt-get source also does not download the source
again, but just unpacks them).
