Thanks for the bug report. Sorry for my late reply. I think you are
right, but we are currently quite busy, certainly I am. But the numpy
package is managed in the DPMT svn repo, so if you want to get it
fixed faster, please join the team, fix the package in the svn, and
ask someone to upload it.

Feel free to ask on the DPMT mailinglist if you have any questions.
