Merging version 0.91.2 for Intrepid Ibex, I could fix this behaviour by doing three things:

1) export MATPLOTLIBDATA=/usr/share/matplotlib/
2) place the file matplotlib.conf from the sources in /usr/share/matplotlib
3) create a link from /etc/matplotlibrc to /usr/share/matplotlib/

The latter two points are now taken care of in the ii version. As there is no /etc/profile.d in Ubuntu, there is no way for a package to define an environmental variable. Several other packages have this problem.
