Yes.

You would only install '-f2py', if '-scipy-core' is not installed. They 
exclude each other. And, like you already said, -f2py2e (or call it 
'-f2py-scipy' ??) needs '-scipy-core'.

Therefore, you need the above mentioned dependency on '-scipy-core'.

So, you mean, only _one_ '-f2py' package, with script-file and f2py2e 
directory? This would be indeed the simplest version. If someone wants to use 
f2py, but not scipy, he/she has to install scipy-core. 
Then scipy_test is also there and not needed, but: So what? It's a question 
about 273 kByte. If that matters, one has to split scipy-core or use the 
above listed two f2py packages...
