Doing so would entail supporting wxPython 2.6. It looks like debian stable is now packaging numpy 1.01. Am I reading this right? http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-numpy I think it is reasonable for folks who want the latest mpl to be willing to get the latest numpy. For the GUI toolkits, given how hard they are to build, your suggestion of targeting debian stable may be more reasonable, but supporting multiple GUI versions has always been a pain since we definitely want to support the most recent. wxpython is on 2.8.7 and stable is still 2.6? pygtk is at 2.10 and debian stable is at 2.6. matplotlib is at 0.98 and debian stable is at 0.87 (Oct 2006 release). So if we want to support stable, *and* the latest releases, we've got a lot of ongoing compatibility work to do. For backend maintainers willing to do it, I think that will be good. But I am hesitant to target such a slow moving repository as a requirement.
