[Debian-med-packaging] Good reasons to downgrade python-skbio again (Was: Any reason why python-numpy version 1.9.2 is in experimental?)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi again,

when reading

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2015/08/msg00019.html

I think we have now good reasons to do option 3. below.

In this case I even think that the epoch is correct to stress the fact
that we *really* want 0.2.3 for the moment.  I'd volunteer to sort out
the trouble I created with my latest update.  Any other opinion?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
