Hi Ondrej, I'll request to join the DPMT, but in the meanwhile this
patch created a perfectly running python-numpy package with ATLAS
support and right dependencies:
Depends: python (<< 2.6), python (>= 2.4), python-central (>=0.6.7), 
 libatlas3gf-base | libatlas.so.3gf, libc6 (>= 2.7-1),
 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgfortran3 (>= 4.3), liblapack3gf |
 liblapack.so.3gf | libatlas3gf-base
