Hi, I've worked a little bit on the packaging. Except the two following entries: * Remove the dependencies (in debian/control) on pythonX.Y-gd because these packages don't exist in Debian and I don't intend to use this backend. * Don't apply Vittorio's patch to the default .matplotlibrc, simply because I don't know yet why it is (or is not) needed. Will see. I believe that most (if not all) changes are objectively improvements. You can find the updated packages (for matplotlib 0.73.1) here: deb http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/tmp/debian sid-others/binary-$(ARCH)/ deb http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/tmp/debian sid-others/binary-all/ deb-src http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/tmp/debian sid-others/source/ (this is temporary because I don't intend to fork the previous work) I am attaching the relevant changelog excerpt.
