The problem is that matplotlib builds its own copy of dateutil if it's
not present at build-time. This doesn't result in dpkg throwing an
error because the two copies of dateutil get installed into different
places because one uses python-support and one python-central...
The simplest way to avoid this is for matplotlib to Build-Depend on
python-dateutil and therefore not build its own copy. The maintainer
might also want to modify debian/rules to ensure the build fails if it
tries to ship the dateutil files.
NMU patch attached.
Cheers,
Mark
