[Matplotlib-devel] v1.5.0rc2

[OceanWolf]

As a debian user myself I would not have thought it impossible, it just 
takes longer, new packages can take several months to enter into 
unstable, but once in the process goes relatively fast.

I speak here only as an observer of the process, I of course defer to 
Sandro for the details (p.s. congratulations for holding and getting 
1.4.x into jessie at the 11th hour).
