Interesting - I installed
(From deb http://deb-scipy.alioth.debian.org/apt/ ./
)

> dpkg -s python2.3-scipy
Package: python2.3-scipy

> dpkg -s python2.3-scipy-core
Package: python2.3-scipy-core

and
In [1]: import scipy
In [2]: scipy.__version__
Out[2]: '0.3.2'

So this looks fine ...
Is there any difference between python2.3-scipy and python-scipy?
