While this may be true, the changes due to numpy still need to be
accounted for. I read¹ that numpy has some backward compatibility
support for this, but of limited use.

They provide a backward compatibility option; however I am not sure
whether this is useful.

It would be great if the autopkgtest of python-pydap can be fixed.
