(Why don't you ask the python modules team that is the maintainer of mpl, or me, that I'm the usual uploader of matplotlib and the owner of the ITP for matplotlib-basemap?) The reason is that Debian has not decided yet what's the proper way to ship big geographical files in a distribution-polite way (there are several other packages that has them embedded, so we have to find a way to ship them in a shared manned and have all other packages use them. to install it, download the tarball and setup.py install using a different install prefix (then adjusting PYTHONPATH od sys.path).
