I've just uploaded it to Debian experimental, so we can give it a run
while in freeze. Some of the buildds are already building[1] the
package, so we should get results asap (either failures or successes).

[1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=python-numpy&suite=experimental

If tests fail, it won't stop the build, and indeed I got at least 2
errors (actually 1 error and 1 crash), when running tests for python
2.7 and 3.2 with debug enabled:

2.7 dbg

======================================================================
ERROR: test_power_zero (test_umath.TestPower)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

    assert_complex_equal(np.power(zero, 0+1j), cnan)
RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in power

----------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 dbg

python3.2-dbg: numpy/core/src/multiarray/common.c:161:
PyArray_DTypeFromObjectHelper: Assertion
`((((((PyObject*)(temp))->ob_type))->tp_flags & ((1L<<27))) != 0)'
failed.
Aborted

I'm reporting them here since you asked so, dunno if you want an issue
on github to track them. I'll look at the buildds logs and report
additional failures if they come up.

Cheers,
