Thank you for your effort. Now we should get python-numpy to Extras
repository. It will not happen through normal testing queue because there
are no applications directly depending on it in the queue. Is there way to
get it promoted or do we have to wait indefinite time to get 10 votes at
http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/python-numpy/1.4.0-1maemo4/
? May I remind that all pygame application are broken because of this.

Regarding libsdl-ttf2.0-0 problem, I think that best way would be to
recompile all packages depending on it, bump the version number and put to
Extras. Currently packages depending on libsdl-ttf2.0-0 are blocked from
being promoted, which is fine, but that implies that there is something
being done about this. That of course makes me curious of what is it?
