Well, I was aware about dh_numpy - sorry for not having a deeper look to
tell you earlier.

Rather fortunately. ;-)

I tried to build the package and noticed that the errors look basically
like rounding problems caused by different compilers / architectures and

Sounds good.

Please also add autopkgtest to the package (once the test works).
Examples are for instance in python-pysam.

Thanks for your work on this
