matplotlib expects 'matplotlibrc' in $HOME rather than '.matplotlibrc'

This bug was fixed in the package matplotlib - 0.91.2-2ubuntu1

---------------
matplotlib (0.91.2-2ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #233959). Remaining Ubuntu changes:
  * debian/control:
    - Change Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer field,
    - Update Build-depends: python-wxgtk2.6 -> 2.8
    - Change order of dependencies so python-gtk2 is first (LP: #223067).
  * debian/docs: adding various doc files to binary package
  * Revert to TkAgg backend instead of GTKAgg which has been the default
    in the several last Ubuntu releases. TkAgg is also the default backend
    in the Debian version. Bug (LP: #220137) seems to indicate that GTKagg
    does not work as expected, either by design or from a bug.
  * debian/rules:
    - copy debian/setup.cfg to $(CURDIR), to make TkAgg the default.
    - call dh_link for the indep target.
  * Also install /usr/share/matplotlib/matplotlib.conf, and create
    a link from /etc/matplotlibrc to /usr/share/matplotlib partly solving
    the problem described in Launchpad bug 126318.
  * debian/README.debian: add note on use of environmental variable.
  * Closing other bugs fixed by this version:
    - PDF generation is working in this version (LP: #114707)
    - personal settings file in ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (LP: #124621)
    - quiver interface refactored from upstream (LP: #134919)
