I don't know for sure, maybe I need to look at this more closely first.

python-astropy/1.0.3-1 built successfully with
python-matplotlib/1.4.2-3.1 :
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=python-astropy&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&ver=1.0.3-3&stamp=1437054460

The regression started with python-astropy/1.0.5-1, when we still had
the same python-matplotlib/1.4.2-3.1 on kfreebsd :
    
|     import numpy as np
|     from numpy import ma
| >   from matplotlib._path import (affine_transform,
| >   count_bboxes_overlapping_bbox,
|         update_path_extents)
| E       ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib._path'
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=python-astropy&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&ver=1.0.5-2&stamp=1444321350

And now with python-astropy/1.0.5-1 on kfreebsd, we gave back
python-matplotlib/1.4.2-3.1 for another built attempt and it built.
That's how I came to this conclusion, but maybe there's another reason.
