I have a question about dh_numpy, on my unstable system the man explain:

'''
       The  helper  script  uses  the  information  stored  in  /usr/share/python/dist/python-numpy  to  generate the Depends information; that file is also used by
       dh_python2 (and from dh_pysupport when implemented) to generate the same set of Depends. This script allows you to not use dh_python2 if you don't want to.
'''


what I understand is : dh_python2 do what dh_numpy is doing, but we provide dh_numpy in case you are not using dh_python2. so if you use dh_python2, no need to use dh_numpy. but it seems I am wrong ;)


and what is the exact meaning of --strict.

thanks,

Frederic
