I don't want to put pressure on this but... was there any progress? :) It would be nice to have this somehow fixed or worked-around, so that I can upload to debian (experimental branch) and get some testing there. The fact doc generation requires downloading datafiles from web it's the only thing left that holds upload of mpl.
