Dear Sandro,
maybe I am misunderstanding something here.

You, as the numpy Debian package maintainer, are certainly not a
bystander. The health of the package is indeed your business.
To be honest, I assumed that you were more than interested in solving
possible DFSG-freeness issues in the package.

What I reported seems to be either a less-than-clear debian/copyright
file (that should be improved, in order to meet Policy 4.5) or 
some files which lack an explicit DFSG-free license (needing a fix, in
order to meet Policy 2.2.1).
At worst, some of those files could be All Rights Reserved and thus
undistributable. If this turned out to be confirmed, the Debian Project
would be distributing files without proper legal permission to do so.

I would not describe this scenario as just a matter between me and
NumPy upstream developers...
