I am afraid that python3-numba is really a hard dependency of poliastro: 
The line

     from numba import njit as jit

can be found in many source files of poliastro, and the package is 
completely unusable without numba. Having all individual imports patched 
out is not maintainable on the long run. So, unless there is a general 
solution of having a "fake" numba (at least supporting njit and prange), 
I don't see a way to remove the hard dependency.
