Bug#1088894: python-escript: FTBFS: dh_install: error: missing files, aborting

[Santiago Vila]

Ok, I've put my work in progress in WIP branch here:

https://salsa.debian.org/sanvila/python-escript

(I pushed to branch WIP in science-team by mistake a few minutes ago,
my apologies, I've already removed that)

The LaTeX errors seem fixed, but it still fails to build for me in this way:

     maximumdownunder/py_src/datasources.py:50: DeprecationWarning: Please import `netcdf_file` from
the `scipy.io` namespace; the `scipy.io.netcdf` namespace is deprecated and will be removed in SciPy
  2.0.0.
   from scipy.io.netcdf import netcdf_file
*** The MPI_Comm_size() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked.
*** This is disallowed by the MPI standard.
*** Your MPI job will now abort.
[test-1:780231] Local abort before MPI_INIT completed completed successfully, but am not able to agg
regate error messages, and not able to guarantee that all other processes were killed!
scons: *** [debian/tmp3/posix/doc/sphinx_api/stuff] Error 14
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Please do not make a release from this, even if it works for you.

In case this problem is in the "weird" category (works in the buildds,
but fails in the AWS instances I'm using), I always offer a VM to reproduce it.

Thanks.
