It adds functionality, sure, but it's neither required at build time nor at run
time. It's not a *dependency*.

It is used if it is present, and as such you (rightly) advertise it in the
package description.

There's also a new dependency python-py. Do we run these longish tests during
rebuild for other python packages as well?

plot.png, cplot.png are still missing, btw.
