Hi Ondrej, Hi Matthias. Removing the two lines in numpy/core/setup.py indeed
seems to do the trick. Feel free to test the attached patch, generated
against the python-numpy source package in sid. On my system it
generates a numpy package with a _dotblas.so file correctly linked to
lapack libs. If ATLAS is then installed, the ATLAS libraries are used
instead.
Ondrej: if the patch works, would you report it upstream?

have a nice day!
