As a rule of thumb, modules that start with an underscore come
from a compiled C or C++ extension. In this case, the source
file in question lives in src/_backend_gdk.c of the matplotlib

Yes, you'll need GTK and its headers installed, something like
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev python-gtk2-dev
should work on a Debian system, though you should probably just
sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
