[Bug 1154434] [NEW] Missing file 'numpy.i' in python-numpy and related packages

[John Pye]

Public bug reported:

Neither the 'python-numpy' nor 'python-numpy-doc' package contains a
file called 'numpy.i', required for writing NumPy compatible C-code-
based Python extensions/modules.

According to the documentation, this file is supposed to be included in docs/numpy/numpy.i, but it clearly hasn't been flagged for inclusion in the Deb packages.

This file is important. I think it should be part of 'python-numpy-dev'
if such a package is going to be provided, but it could just as well be
part of the doc package. FWIW the documentation on how to *use* numpy.i
has already been packaged, just not the

FWIW I note that a file called 'numpy.i' seems to be present in a
package called 'python-instant'. That seems to me to be a bad place for
that file to be located, given that it would be relevant to want to use
that file *outside* python-instant.
