Affirmative, this route exists for both Xubuntu and for Debian.
Though, depending on the setup of programs and libraries already
installed /prior/ to gnuplot this approach may request more
space to start/eventually offers additional functionality.

The estimates by `synaptic` on a live USB session with Xubuntu
(focal/20.04.2 LTS) are

+ `sudo apt-get install gnuplot-qt` (17 MB download, 70 MB installed)
+ `sudo apt-get install gnuplot-x11` (7 MB download, 25 MB installed)
+ `sudo apt build-dep gnuplot` (250 MB download, ~1 GB installed)

For Debian 12/bookworm (branch testing), the numbers are of similar
magnitude.  The third approach requires more space because it equally
installs for example parts of the TeX universe.  While some users of
gnuplot don't need/use this, other users already have it on board (for
pandoc, ipe; Emacs org-mode, etc.).

Thus Peter's more modular approach may be the one balanced between
your needs, and resolving gnuplot's dependencies.  To get familiar
with the process by a test run in a virtual machine is going to save
you time and nerves, too.  Bonne chance !
