[Python-modules-team] fix to scipy into wheezy proposed-updates?

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Dear Release team,

While building a squeeze backport of new release of python-brian package
I just found out that there is a g++ 4.4 compatibility issue with weave
of scipy shipped in squeeze.  Fix is trivial -- I adopted it from a
package in Ubuntu (links are in the patch). I tested that it
resolves my brian build failures.  See attached the debdiff for a
proposed upload.  Would it be acceptable?  Thank you in advance
