Title:
  Missing file 'numpy.i' in python-numpy and related packages

Status in “python-numpy” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “python-numpy” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  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.
  http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/swig.interface-file.html

  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.
