oh oh, so you want to bootstrap mpl/numpy on m68k, and not proposing
enhancement to the package :) now I see.

I think you just need to remove the

(export MPLCONFIGDIR=. ; make -C doc html PYTHONPATH=../$(PYLIBPATH))

line from from d/rules, the mpl b-depends and maybe some other sparse
references around (if they first 2 steps aren't enough).
