Dear Dmitry,

thank you very much for your feedback. Please bear with me and my
probably basic questions. This is my first packaging effort in Debian.

I see your point. Right now, build-depends is set to:

  debhelper (>=
9),python-all,python3-all,python-epydoc,python-numpy,python-scipy,python-matplotlib

And the test dependencies
  python-csb,python3-csb,python-unittest2,python-numpy

I'm a bit confused about the dependencies and referencing to the
source or binary packages, and whether they're missing from only the
tests or also from the main package. Where should the references to
the binary package python3-numpy and -scipy be added?

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I've updated the code
accordingly.

After I figure out the correct setup for the tests I'll try to
reproduce 3) and  4), and will probably get back to you with more
questions ;)

Is the addition of this restriction a good idea, or should I rather
try to get upstream to change the behaviour?

Once again, thank you for your detailed observations. They are
extremely helpful.

Cheers,
