we had recently a discussion regarding this issue on this mailinglist, see:
http://groups.google.com/group/Numpy-discussion/browse_thread/thread/507e7722f99406fa/
and on the debian bug tracker:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489253

in debian testing and unstable numpy is now built with a patch that
enables atlas support. I don't know the status of the ubuntu package,
but I presume they may apply a similar patch until the numpy building
system's checks are relaxed ina way that no patch is needed anymore.

cheers,
tiziano
