Dear Maintainer,

matplotlib2 fails to build with Sphinx 1.8, currently available in
experimental:

  # build the doc
  [...] /usr/bin/make -C doc html
  make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc'
  Running Sphinx v1.8.3

  Warning, treated as error:
  while setting up extension matplotlib.sphinxext.mathmpl: directive u'math' is 
already registered, it will be overridden
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:20: html] Error 2

This was fixed in matplotlib 3.x in this commit, please backport it:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/f87e9f46daf42ad7

That commit switches from generating PNG images for math formulas to MathJax
library, which renders the math formulas on client side. To package it for
Debian, please add this line to conf.py:

  mathjax_path = 
'file:///usr/share/javascript/mathjax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML'

and make your documentation package depend on libjs-mathjax.

Also upstream has noticed that some math renders incorrectly with MathJax,
there is a follow-up commit which fixes it:
