Thanks. Sorry about not communicating the new dependency very well. As
this only affects those building the docs (meaning primarily developers
and not end-users) it wasn't given the same care.
We had had some back-and-forth about whether to include a local copy of
numpydoc in matplotlib, but ultimately decided not to as this is
generally not what packagers like to see. In there a way to depend on
numpydoc from the development release in your PPA (only as a build-time
dependency?)

As a couple of people have noticed, my matplotlib-daily PPA has become
broken the other day, especially for 64-bit users. The root cause of
this is that building the docs now requires numpydoc, which is only
packaged in the development release of Ubuntu.
I've taken this as a prompt to switch the daily recipe builds to
raring. I think most people who had added my PPA were interested in a
Python 3 package of matplotlib. So I've backported the 1.2.0 package
to precise and quantal, in another PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~takluyver/+archive/python3
<https://launchpad.net/%7Etakluyver/+archive/python3>
If you were using python3-matplotlib from my PPA on precise or
quantal, I recommend that you switch to my python3 PPA. It's actually
a downgrade, but it's a stable version that shouldn't do anything
unexpected.
If people want to keep running development versions of matplotlib on
precise/quantal, speak up: I can reconsider turning off the daily
builds for those versions.
Thanks,
Thomas

Technical detail, for anyone interested: the architecture-independent
-data and -doc packages are built on i386. When the docs fail to
build, the -data package isn't created. The amd64 build succeeded, but
the architecture-dependent packages require a precisely matching
version of the -data package. apt complains that python[3]-matplotlib
has a missing dependency.
