I was thinking more along the lines of python-numeric not depending on python. python2.2-numeric depends on python2.2 already... however, I see the versioned python dependence is specifically recommended in python-policy. I guess the problem is, if you have "python-numeric" installed, you assume it will work with the default python. Hence you must know that your python-numeric package and the python package are in sync, hence the versioned dependency. My apologies for not thinking it through properly before. Hugo van der Merwe
