Ahh, I suppose you are right. Alright, I guess I'll take another
look. Unfortunately, I'm having difficulty just getting the unmodified
packaging (from debian experimental) to build,

  numpy-1.5.1 $ dpkg-buildpackage
  ...
  running install_egg_info
  Removing /opt/exp/numpy/numpy-1.5.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy-1.5.1.egg-info

  		sed -i "1s,#!.*python[^ ]*\(.*\),#!/usr/bin/python$v-dbg," debian/tmp/usr/bin/f2py$v-dbg; \
  	done

Strange. I'm assuming the numpy build itself is supposed to generate these?

Of course. Thanks for all of your assistance.
