Package: python-scipy Version: 0.10.1+dfsg1-3 Severity: wishlist While troubleshooting FTBFS of statsmodels on sparc we just ran into an issue which points to scipy (separate report will be filed whenever confirmed to be scipy-origin). I have looked at scipy build-log [1] and besides build-depends on python-nose I saw no sign of it actually running unittests (full or not) against supported versions of python. If it is so -- it would be great to enable at least minimal package-time build-testing -- it would help to robustify scipy and dependent Python modules across platforms. IMHO it is better to detect/fixed bugs before they get discovered by others (users and maitainers of dependent packages).
