[Matplotlib-devel] v1.5.0rc2

It is a hard dependency, but it is only a few hundred line python file.

If getting it in as a top-level debian package is not possible, it should
not be too hard to vendor it.

My preference would be if you could handle this as a debian-specific
vendoring, but if this is really a blocker for debian (at it's down-stream
ecosystem) we can work something out up upstream.

When we started working on cycler part of the discussion was to split it
off because down-stream packagers liked to split things up!
