I see python-numeric and python-numeric-ext have versioned dependencies on the python meta package. It doesn't look necessary to me, there are python2.2-numeric and python2.1-numeric packages, these depend on the required python versions. If it weren't for the dependencies I just mentioned, one could upgrade python-numeric before doing a full python upgrade... (I still have a couple of packages holding my python on 2.1.)
