Bug Description
Binary package hint: python-numpy
With the migration of pygtk from python-numeric to python-numpy in jaunty, we've had a net loss of roughly 6MB of disk space on the CDs; python-numeric was split into python-numeric and python-numeric-ext binary packages, but python-numpy now pulls in blas, lapack, and libgfortran into the CD dependencies, in addition to being significantly larger than python-numeric was due to all the code being shipped in the same package.
This has effectively caused all of the language packs to be shifted off the CDs for alpha-2, and even then the amd64 desktop image is still oversized. For alpha-3, we should really try to reclaim this space by splitting the python-numpy package.

for alpha-2 we just did remove the build-dependency on lapack and blas. not optimal. nor sure if we can fix it for alpha-3.
