If you build numpy from sources, please don't install it into /usr ! It
will more than likely break everything which depends on numpy, as well
as your debian installation (because you will overwrite packages handled
by dpkg). You should really install in a local directory, outside /usr.

You will have to install scipy and matplotlib in any case, too.

cheers,
