Dear Rebecca, A quick update on this: version -9 failed its autopkgtests on some archs, so I uploaded version -10 this morning. Hopefully that will pass and migrate in a couple of days. On the pandas front, though, I don't know if you've seen the roadmap: version 2.2 is released, and version 3.0 is in preparation. But 3.0 will depend on PyArrow - the string data type will use PyArrow as a backend rather than NumPy as at present. This is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970021 and it looks like this is going to be a monster to package. It's probably worth getting a small group of developers together to work on this soonish - I don't have the capacity to take it on, I'm afraid. Best wishes, Julian
