I think all of the developers should make sure, that scipy and numpy
installs natively in their own favourite distribution. So for example
I am using Debian, so I'll try to keep an eye on it and help the
maintainer of the deb package. This way it should cover the most
distributions.

P.S. I don't know what the native way of installing packages on Mac OS
X is, but I know of the fink project, that basically allows to use
debian packages:
