Thanks Sandro.  There is RC bug#946624 affecting python-scipy, with a 
counterpart in #946625 for python3-scipy.  Something subtle has changed 
in the syntax for skipping tests, I haven't figured out what yet. Help 
needed.

Since that problem needs to be fixed anyway for python3-scipy, I propose 
dealing with that first before decommissioning python-scipy.  I expect 
that whatever the fix is that's needed for python3-scipy, the same patch 
will fix the tests for python-scipy.  That way we can put python-scipy 
to sleep on a clean bed.
