I don't know why there is an empty __init__.py in the source directory,
but would something break if the file printed out a warning, like

print '''
  Warning: your "import %s" is picking up the matplotlib source
  directory, which is not usable as a Python module. To avoid this
  problem, either rename the directory to e.g. "mpl" or move it to
  some directory that is not on your Python path.
''' % __name__
