I have updated the packaging to produce a python3-h5py package. You can see my work at [lp] and download the source with: dget https://launchpad.net/~brad-froehle/+archive/experimental/+files/h5py_2.1.2-0~exp3~ppa0.dsc

Froehle <[email protected]> Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:26:06 -0700 Since uploading to launchpad I did realize that I forgot to add `rm -f h5py/*.c` to the override_dh_auto_clean target in debian/rules. This should be added to clean up the Cython-generated files. I also did a backport to Ubuntu Precise (12.04).
