Oh wow, this is a lot more than I expected, and that also explains why the
package isn't in unstable yet...
I can have a look though!

Our lab uses python3-stfio specifically to load CED binary CFS files, which
as far as I know can't be reliably done with any other tool. So, it would
be neat to keep that support. Migrating Python build systems is just about
the least fun thing I can imagine, but the Numpy transition might not be
too bad depending on how stimfit uses it (I have done that in a different
project and it was simple, however, usage of the API was also fairly basic
there).

I'll have a look...

Best,
    Matthias
