The Debian package for NumPy is already up to date in relation to the 
upstream version (2.3.4). To fix the problem, the package maintainers 
will need to apply the patch I proposed upstream (which has not yet been 
integrated). [1]

My question was: if I were to file a bug report against the numpy package 
again, would it be appropriate to declare that the new bug affects 
src:plplot, even though the current bug has already been closed?

Best,
