- please upload to experimental first, so we can make test builds of
  all packages rdepending on -numeric and -numarray.

  which packages did you try to build with scipy?

- I'd like to see that atlas3 is not the preferred dependency, it's
  not built on all platforms and rather large. The current
  numeric/numarray packages use something like:

    dh_shlibdeps -a
    sed -i -e 's/atlas3-base | lapack3/lapack3 | atlas3-base/; s/atlas3-base | refblas3/refblas3 | atlas3-base/' debian/python2*.substvars

- can scipy be built using gfortran?
