[Python-modules-team] Bug#489253: python-numpy: enable ATLAS support?

[Tiziano Zito]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.1.0-1
Severity: normal

dear maintainers,
python-numpy is currently built without ATLAS support.

Among other things this implies very slow matrix multiplication.
ATLAS support was dropped during the gfortran transition (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464784+ ).

Dropping the 02_dontuse_lapack.diff patch and build-depend
on atlas should re-enable ATLAS support. 
The reason for dropping ATLAS support was that ATLAS had not completed 
the gfortran transition yet. This issue seems to be solved now:

Thank you!
