do you mean something like the source package + debianization? of course we do! :) you need a "source" line in the /etc/apt/sources.list (something like deb-src <url>) and then apt-get source <source_package_name> in this case matplotlib. > > apt-get install python-matplotlib-devel > > cd ~/path/to/mpl/docs > > python make.py html latex > > That would be nice, because it would make it easier for users and > developers to contribute to the docs and test their changes.

With that, you can do all you can with the upstream source code, or use debian tools to compile the package.
