Bug#854167: src:python-cartopy: Version 0.14.x is not compatible with matplotlib>=2.0 / owslib>=0.14

[Ghislain Antony Vaillant]

Package: src:python-cartopy
Version: 0.14.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: serious

After discussing it with upstream [1], the version of cartopy currently
packaged in Stretch (0.14.2) should not be released alongside the
packaged matplotlib (2.0) and owslib (0.14), because the codebase is
known to be incompatible with their respective versions.

It is still uncertain whether version 0.15.0 will have support for
matplotlib>=2.0, so we might have to wait for a subsequent release
(0.15.1 or 0.16.x?) to get a fully working cartopy package.
