OK, let's try to move it forward somehow: so Piotr, you'd like numpy pydist file to have 2 lines. numpy python-numpy numpy_strict python-numpy-api$N, python-numpy (>= $foo) is that correct? as Jakub, I fail to see the advantage of the first line, and the second one would still be generated by dh_numpy - what am I missing? sorry, just a dh_ command less doesn't seem so much simpler than trying to bend dh_python2 to the numpy rdeps needs. >>> But anyway, I don't quite understand what problem you are trying to >>> solve.

If possible, we can support dhp2/non-dhp2 (see? I'm not trying to boycott :) ) but i think there should be a real advantage of supporting both. I think this is the last point to tick, and then we can probably have a reviewed solution, hopefully.
