Re: Updating Celery, Kombu, python-amqp

Presumably it will also run into trouble as python-amqp is at 1.4.9 in
unstable, but 2.1.4 from experimental is required.

I see your changes in the debian/experimental branch. Wondering if it is
probably best to include them now in master (or debian/master?),
considering they are now in debian/unstable.

Looks like this change has problems, see #858540. Suspect a missing
depends on the vine package.

The creation of a Debian package is — quite deliberately — not an
automated process [0]. There are many human decisions to be made, in
order to work well with the rest of Debian, and to conform with Debian
Policy.

The general answer is: This is the work of a maintainer, so learn how to
do that .

The specific answer for NumPy is: Use the existing packages
 and/or
collaborate with the existing maintainers.


[0] Of course, there are many tools to help with those small steps that
are mechanical and *can* be automated. But these do not by any
measure automate the “start with upstream work, end with Debian
package” process.
