After some more checks, I can confirm your bug report. Matplotlib
actually does use Qt by default under Python 3. I still use Python 2
for most of my work, and under Python 2 matplotlib uses TkAgg as its
default backend.

After a quick look at the definition of python-matplotlib, I suspect
that python-pyqt should be a propagated-input, not a plain input.
I will try this out as soon as possible.

Konrad.
