In which sense version 2 is not compatible with 1.x? > Due to this issues packages for both versions should be available in lenny. Keeping version 1.x in debian has the (grave) problem that it depends on numarray that, besides having known problems with 64-bit platforms, it is not being maintained anymore (the numarray makers are strongly encouraging people to migrate to NumPy [1]). So, I'm afraid that keeping PyTables 1.x series in lenny will only be a source of problems. Being said that, I'm ok if anybody would go ahead and be in charge of maintaining the 1.x series in debian (at his own responsability).
