Package: python3-matplotlib Version: 1.5.1~rc1-1 Severity: wishlist I recently needed to produce some plots in a headless environment (using the agg backend), but realized that the current dependencies are quite hefty.
Not too unexpected, but by looking carefully I noticed that python3-matplotlib is already *much* better than python-matplotlib in this regard. It still depends on libtcl8.6/libtk8.6 though, which will pull x11 as a result. Is this dependency strictly necessary for matplotlib to work with the agg backend? Is it possible, maybe through some work, to demote it to a recommends?
