I wonder, whether it's easier to wait for buster and then create an orange backport? I'm sure, immediately after release, we (= Python teams) will start to drop Python 2 support anyway. In the mean time new versions of matplotlib and friends, as well as orange, might be suitable for experimental, so that your packaging work doesn't need to wait. Orange looks very interesting and is a welcome addition to Debian, btw.!
