I was about to move it to the propagated inputs, when I recalled
myself that matplotlib uses a special version of numpy. This special
version does not build the documentation as for that it needs
matplotlib. So, the special version is a 'bootstrap' version which
should not be installed in a profile and should only be used for its
purpose (it's not even exported).
So, I think it's not possible to propagate the regular version of numpy.
