Since the ABI package python3-numpy-abi9 was not bumped, I don't
believe any rebuilds are needed. Please go ahead and upload to
unstable.

Although this is not a transition in the way a C library transition
requires rebuilding all reverse-dependencies, a transition to a new
Python module often requires updating reverse-dependencies, of which
numpy has many, so it's good to bring these to the attention of the
release team. Thanks for the headsup!
