I just added a symlink to 3.1.dfsg-3 which should work.  You'll need to
Build-Depend on libpetsc3.1-dev (>= 3.1.dfsg-3) to ensure that it gets
the version with this symlink.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, single lib?

Good point.  Is there a place to find a list of all of the
reverse-depends easily?  I don't see anything on the PTS.
