Actually the fink testing command requires an exit value of 1 or higher to detect errors, so I am using something like "… r=m.test(verbosity=1); sys.exit(len(r.errors+r.failures))"

Indeed, I seemed to remember the regular output was not that much larger, but I must have missed all the hires.png and pdf images in the mpl_examples. They do account for additional 60-70 MB... I was also curious if you had considered moving the docs to a separate package. I will propose one for fink; since there probably more people are building their packages themselves, the savings in build time might already justify that.
