Control: tags -1 patch
The dependency chain involved is
matplotlib2 -> python-mpltoolkits.basemap -> python-pyproj, python-pyshp
where all but the first no longer exist as Python 2 packages (and pyproj
has also moved to a Python 3 only new upstream version).
Searching the code suggests that matplotlib2 no longer uses basemap
(doc/pyplots/plotmap.py no longer even exists), and hence that a fix is
to simply remove the build-dependency:

The package builds and passes autopkgtests with this, but that's all the
testing it's had. (The build-time tests are skipped with TypeError:
object of type 'MarkDecorator' has no len(). I suspect this is an
unrelated incompatibility with the current version of pytest, but
haven't investigated.)
