It seems to be pulling in all of TeX Live, which is huge and by no means necessary to run matplotlib. Matplotlib can pass strings through TeX for formatting (the usetex option) but doesn't do that by default. Oh, it's build-dep... I guess you need TeX to build the manual, but I don't think it is needed to get the library itself working. Is there a way to ask apt what the build dependencies for a package are, and then install only a subset? -- Jouni K.
