Hi Sam and Vincent, I've now got pyxplot 0.7.0 in good shape and have uploaded it to mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pyxplot/pyxplot_0.7.0+1-1.dsc
pyxplot (0.7.0+1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer. Thanks to Sam Morris for his previous work.
* New upstream release (closes: #547962).
* Replace obsolete dependencies on gs-* packages (closes: #534900).
* Depend on texlive-latex-base to ensure that latex is installed
(closes: #497918).
* Move gv to recommends and use a wrapper to find other postscript viewers
and allow user configuration of this (closes: #492804).
* Move python-scipy to a Recommends as it is possible to use pyxplot without
this package installed (closes: #478834).
* Document recommended packages and the functionality they provide in
README.Debian.
* Add menu entry, icons and mime-type assosciation for pyxplot files.
* Change build system to dh7+quilt.
* Bump standards version to 3.8.3 (no changes required).

Your testing and review of this updated package would be most welcome. I've
also tested it with python 2.6 and it (now) seems to be fine as long as pyx
is binNMUd for that transition -- getting pyx into good shape for python 2.6
is what has delayed this work.
Seeing as mentors discards the binary packages, here's the .deb that was
generated in case you want to do some testing prior to building the package
yourself:
http://www.nanonanonano.net/tmp/pyxplot_0.7.0+1-1_all.deb
Note that it requires pyx 0.10 which is only in sid at present (although the
sid package installs quite happily into lenny as well).
Let me know how the package is looking and if you have any further suggestions
for it.
Sam: as per your last message, I've taken over the package -- but it occured
to me that you implied that your lack of time to devote to pyxplot might be a
transitory thing. I'll happily add you back in as a co-maintainer and perhaps
import that package into the python applications team svn if you want to do
that.
cheers
Stuart
