I wonder, whether it's easier to wait for buster and then create an
orange backport? I'm sure, immediately after release, we (= Python
teams) will start to drop Python 2 support anyway. In the mean time
new versions of matplotlib and friends, as well as orange, might be
suitable for experimental, so that your packaging work doesn't need
to wait. Orange looks very interesting and is a welcome addition to
Debian, btw.!
