How is that going to work without creating package conflicts?
I suppose the main module is still named "matplotlib" not
"matplotlib3" in version 3 onwards? So using python3-matplotlib3 would
be a breach of policy.
Let me ask you this: where is the rush to package this machine learning
library? Could it wait after the Buster release cycle, where we might
be in a more comfortable position to upgrade matplotlib?
