I've got two packages for now: f2py (scipy_distutils omitted), and scipy with 
all parts except chacko. I could work this evening on the splitting of scipy 
(see below). 
Furthermore, I used python2.2 explicitely. I believe, that for woody, one has 
to provide both, python- and python2.2- packages -- correct? So, that would 
be another todo.
I guess, only after these modifications Joe wants to have these debs...

Just to make sure:

### Pearu's summary ###
1) scipy_distutils and scipy_test are bundled to scipy_core
2) scipy_base stays in scipy (at least for the time being)
3) The following packages are stand-alone and all depend on scipy_core:
   scipy, weave, f2py2e, chaco, etc.
4) scipy depends also on weave, f2py2e, chaco(?in future), etc.
###

This _could_ mean:

'python<>' and 'python2.2<>' debs:

'-scipy-core'   -- see 1)
'-scipy' (scipy & scipy_base), '-weave' , '-chaco'   -- see 2) & 3)
'-f2py' (stand-alone), '-f2py2e' or '-f2py-base' (scipy_distutils omitted)

Comments?

Okay, regarding the Debian packaging, I will do.
And -- as I mentioned before -- I would like to upload some RPMs, and I could 
also upload the Debian packages in the present state. For that, I would like 
to use my member page (RalfA) of scipy.org. Is this okay?

Ralf.
