Hmm, this is odd a bit of an odd situation I guess. The dependency for
python-matplotlib is:

python-gd (>= 0.52) | python-pypaint | python-gtk2 | python-wxgtk2.8 |
python-qt3 | python-qt4

Basically just saying you need *one* of the possible backends. However,
the default matplotlibrc (/etc/maplotlibrc) has:

backend      : GTKAgg

so technically we should probably change the dependency to:

python-gtk2 | python-gd (>= 0.52) | python-wxgtk2.8 | python-qt3 |
python-qt4

we can also drop the python-pypaint dependency as there is no such
package in Debian or Ubuntu.

However, the default Ubuntu install does include python-gtk so I imagine
the only time you'd run into the bug would be on a server install. Is
that the case for you Mark?
