Hmm, this is in the make-plots code:

if inputdata.description.has_key('RatioPlotMode') and
inputdata.description['RatioPlotMode']=='deviation':
    inputdata.description['YLabel']='$(\\text{MC}-\\text{data})$'
    inputdata.description['YMin']=-3.5
    inputdata.description['YMax']=3.5
else:
    inputdata.description['YLabel']='MC/data'
    inputdata.description['YMin']=0.5
    inputdata.description['YMax']=1.5

So I don't understand why it wouldn't be working. I've not had time to
check it yet, though. You can set the label explicitly with RatioPlotYLabel.

Hendrik, can you check to see if the intended default behaviour isn't
working properly? I don't think we set this explicitly in compare-histos...
