I guess the point I was trying to make is that nobody expects SciPy 12
to work with NumPy 1.5, since they are released at different times.
If you install scikits-image 0.4, released when NumPy 1.5 was stable,
you'll get 1.5 compatibility.  The problem only comes in when you
require the latest functionality--in which case upgrading the package
+ dependencies seems completely reasonable.

If we focus on getting scikits-image packaged in the different
distros, these problems should more-or-less go away, since people will
do "apt-get install python-skimage" and be happy with whichever
version is provided.
