I have packages both for f2py and scipy at
http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/debian/ . They are finished, and were done
so with the help of the upstream authors in order to comply with Debian
policy. The reasons preventing to get them in official debian was a lack
of a stable release upstream (which eventually disapeared with the
release of scipy 0.3.0) and the lack of a sponsor (which I didn't try
too hard to find due to lack of time).

I did these packages 1st for my own purposes and only in 2nd for others.
I confess I've been taking too much time to finish the ITP. If Marco
Presi wants to take over maintainership of these packages I have no
objections. If he wants to have a joint maintainership or any other
arrangement that's Ok too. Both packages reached a state where most of
the nasty work is done, so now there should be little maintainance
overhead.
I actually think is more important to get them in debian proper no
matter whom is charge, as lot of people has been mailing me asking for
that, especially the Quantian people. And I'll gladly help in any way
you see fit in order to achieve that.
Best regards,
José Fonseca
