[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello Jugurtha,

I am a bit late to the party since your patch has been applied, but I
found something odd, see below.

Why isn't this one a runtime dependency ?

I dropped python-cycler from <pkg>_DEPENDENCIES, and then did a build
with "make python-matplotlib", so it only built the build time
dependencies and not the runtime dependencies, and it built just fine.

Could you comment on why you think python-cycler for the target would
be needed here ?

Thanks,

Thomas
