Hmmm, I've thought the "test case" I've given in my first mail, just
doing

   from uncertainties import core

would be sufficient.

I will contact upstream but I wanted to hear the opinion of the
Uploaders of this package.

That's probably explained in my other mail I've wrongly sent to
python-modules-team list where it might have not been noticed by you.  I
wanted the Uploaders confirm the move to DPMT and make sure they have
commit permissions before the repository is moved.

Kind regards
