I've moved matplotlib from b-d to b-d-i but that causes numpy to FTBFS
on some archs. After discussion, it is better to add back matplotlib
to  b-d so if you still need to break that loop, please do it really
asap, so that I can add back the dependency. I think late Sunday /
early Morning the b-d will be back (sorry for the short notice).
