This error message suggests that the package build may not be split
into build-arch and build-indep, because the manual needs "python-scipy"
to be present in the system and this is created in the build-arch
target.

My suggestion to fix this would be to make build-arch and build-indep
to depend on build (not the other way around) and build everything in
the build target.

The package will probably not build "optimally", but at least it
should build, and that will always be better than the current FTBFS bug.

Thanks.
