Hi Ole,

I am attaching a patch (git-am style) that enables pytest-mpl tests for python-astropy. However, I have just now realized that all of the matplotlib unit tests are skipped anyway because they use remote data. Oops!

Also, I've uploaded a rebuild for jessie-backports to mentors.debian.net. Would you please upload it?

Thanks,
Leo
