matplotlib 3.0 was recently uploaded to Debian unstable. This version requires Python 3 and hence the package python-matplotlib was removed. Sagemath still uses Python 2 and I don't think there is any chance to change that before the buster freeze. Hence I think the only way forward is to upload matplotlib 2.2.3 as a separate source package to provide the Python 2 package python-matplotlib. All other RC bugs of sagemath are fixed in git, this is the bug preventing an upload. Best, Tobias
