Comment 2 for bug 129593

I do not know, but I audited the sources of both python-f2py and python-scipy-core and all of the files they provide are ancient versions of files provided by python-numpy. I can see having these for transitional reasons, but it's been years now. I would expect that as Lenny's release gets closer, Debian will likely remove them as they have little or no value. For Ubuntu getting rid of them has value because we are getting bugs on them (not a lot, but some) that are solved by people using the current package and not the ancient one.
