An auto backend support within matplotlib would be great. I'll try to
find bug tracker for matplotlib and see if there is a request already
for this, if not I'll file one and help to add code to support that.

In the mean time we still have the all mightly debian packaging =DDDD

I think that it will be possible to write a post install script which
will do the following:

1) check dependencies for all possible backends
2) Ignore backends for which dependencies are missing
3) Out of the working backends pick the pretties one
4) modify /etc/matplotlibrc to default to one that is installed

By bash-foo is not perfect but I will work on this in the next week or
so. So for now I'll assign this bug to myself. If I succeed I'll work
with debian packaging team to incorporate it =D
