I had sponsored the package, and had a quick look.
Basically, the major problem is that numeric doesn't support clear
byte/native code separation, if i remember well. Sylvain said he would
have a look, and medwards said he had a solution to it, but never got
around to make the new upload (and seemed to have disspeared these past
two weeks or so, but is back again since a few days, it seems).
I had not really the time to fix the bug though.
Notice that this bug is not sarge critical, since numerix was never yet
in sarge.
