Like Olivier said, libsvm and liblinear are heavily patched and
scikit-learn wouldn't work with the upstream versions.
If bundling them is unacceptable, I guess maybe packaging our forks
individually as libsvm-sklearn or something similar would be a solution,
but I think it would be confusing. Also I am completely unaware of the
constraints and of what Yaroslav is doing for Debian; by looking at his
branch it looks like the libs are there.
On an unrelated note I notice that the spec file has some lines to remove
some shebang lines from some files (datasets/setup.py and some files in
gaussian processes). Should we remove those in master?
