Probably not. We'd want to build the docs from source just like Debian would. I thought of perhaps a middle ground. We leave the python-numpy source package as it currently is, providing a python-numpy-doc binary package that disables the matplotlib extension. We'd add a new Ubuntu-only universe package that built, e.g. python-numpy-doc-complete which could include the matplotlib extension. It might be tricky to work out the exact details, since a naive approach would have file conflicts. (E.g. could add a binary package conflict or install the docs into a different location). I don't know that I'll get to this for Natty, but in any case, this bug is tracking the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-numpy/+bug/721007 Thanks everyone for your input. -Barry
