Source: matplotlib
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

in `debian/rules` for python-matplotlib-data, Bitstream Vera ttf fonts are
deliberately removed from the package (same is done for some fonts of package
`fonts-lyx`) but the package hosting those fonts (`ttf-bitstream-vera`) is not
added to "Depends:".
These fonts are default fonts of matplotlib, so any plot generated will look
different than what is expected and advertised by matplotlib in their galleries
because it will use a very different-looking fallback font.

(see http://tests.obspy.org/29443/#8 for a diff of expected image and image
without these fonts installed)

Please add `ttf-bitstream-vera` to Depends of python-matplotlib-data.

cheers,
Tobias
