Still not; after numpy upstream pointed me to PEP-440, I forwarded this to the spectral-cube upstream [1]. We will probably find a solution for spectral-cube.

They try to catch changes in numpy over the years to be compliant to older numpy versions as well. The source code in question is here: https://github.com/radio-astro-tools/spectral-cube/blob/master/spectral_cube/np_compat.py This is still useful to allow backporting to Debian Jessie, so I wouldn't like to remove it.
