Package: python-numarray
Severity: wishlist

python-numarray's description should be changed to indicate that it's
deprecated, and that python-numpy is the preferred module to use.  It
also says that it's a reimplementation of Numeric (aka numpy) which
further confuses things.

It could be changed to:

 This package is now deprecated, please use the python-numpy package
 for developing new software.
 .
 Numarray is a set of extensions to the Python programming language
 which allows Python programmers to efficiently manipulate large sets
 of objects organized in grid-like fashion. These sets of objects are
 called arrays, and they can have any number of dimensions.
 .
 This is a reimplementation of the earlier Numeric module.  For the
 most part, the syntax of numarray is identical to that of Numeric,
 although there are significant differences. The differences are
 primarily in new features.
