Hi Mehdi,

Unfortunately I've never quite figured out a reliable way of marking a
debian package 'installed' without actually needing to install the deb.
This is why the MOTD has a note about not installing
numpy/scipy/atlas/openmpi from apt-get. If anyone knows of a way to do
this I'd love to know...
