Hi, I cannot work on python-maplotlib for the forseeable future, but you may be interested by the changes I made to the packages. I'm attaching the changelog excerpt.

Description: Binary data
At least, I think the treatment done to the example scripts so that they can be easily tested (hit Enter in mc...) is worth keeping.
As for the documentation, there are two problems:
- the pdf file: should not be hard to fix (short-term: mention it in
README.Debian, as you suggested; long-term: ask JDH to ship the
source files and generate the PDF doc at build time);
- the pydoc-generated documentation: apparently, pydoc has problems
examining some of the C source files and this may be tricky to fix
the Right Way(TM).
Another thing to keep an eye on is the gazillion zone files. I think it
is ridiculous to have all of them byte-compiled... twice! (.pyc, .pyo)
