For now I will provide a patch that depends exclusively on 'python-tk' since this is the default configuration for the package as it is provided by upstream. An exclusive install depend on 'python-tk' will resolve THIS bug.

Users who are aware of other options should have the ability to create a ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file that requests the 'backend' of their choice. Anyone with this knowledge should have the ability to install the appropriate packages to realize this.

We can open a new bug regarding automatic selection of the 'best' available backend.
