Bug 262602: math/py-pandas lists py-matplotlib unconditionally
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=262602



--- Description ---
I'm trying to build py-pandas to run on a production server and don't to deploy
an entire desktop environment to use it. The py-pandas port lists the
matplotlib as both an unconditional dependancy and a conditional dependency.
Even if the MPL option is disabled, a build tries to build py-matplotlib, which
depends on py-pillow, which depends on libraqm, which depends on harfbuzz,
which depends on ... You get the idea.
