The target date for SciPy 0.2 release is "before Christmas, 2002".

I guess it takes some time to stabilize Debian packaging hooks, so there
is no harm to start scipy debianization now. There will be only one large
change in SciPy CVS before its 0.2 release. This is replacing fftpack with
fftpack2 and I plan to apply this change by the end of this week
(probably tomorrow). Otherwise SciPy CVS is quite stable with respect to
Debian.

Very good!
