Hi,

you did a great job Kumar! Thanks for fixing all those.

Yes, it's weird, because after installing, all of those work:

ondra at fuji:~$ man f2py
ondra at fuji:~$ man f2py2.4
ondra at fuji:~$ man f2py2.5

We can either override the linda warnings, or just leave it as that for now.

This can also be fixed later imho, as this is a problem even in the
original package.

I think it's mostly ready for upload, but we should also fix this annoying bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=435591

After that, it should be ready. Of course we still need approval from
the current maintainers (Marco or Alexandre or Jose or Matthias).
