[Bug 1542928] Re: python-scientific should be removed

[Graham Inggs]

I don't believe we need to do anything about the Reverse-Recommends.

sixpack, mmtk, dolfin, gpivtools and fenics (which depends on dolfin)
will have to be removed as well.

Title:
  python-scientific should be removed

Status in python-scientific package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in python-scientific package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The latest netcdf package (1:4.4.0-1 ) is stuck in -proposed. This is presumably because the transition is waiting for python-scientific:
  http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/netcdf.html

  python-scientific does not build because it is not compatible with the latest numPy (1.9), and will probably not be fixed before the Debian Import Freeze:
  https://bitbucket.org/khinsen/scientificpython/issues/13/numpy-19-has-dropped-support-for
  As you can see from that bug, python-scientific has been removed from most distributions (including Debian Testing).

  Python-scientific should probably be removed from Ubuntu Xenial
  (16.04) as well.

  The reverse dependencies have also been removed in Debian Testing and should also be removed from Ubuntu Xenial:
  - sixpack
  - mmtk
  - dolfin
  - gpivtools
