I don't rember exactly how it works
* Does aster replace%() variables in mpirun_template script at runtime
in which case we can safely lintian-override the error?

* Or do we have to replace %() by definitions found in /etc/codeaster/asrun?

I think that it is the first case. When running aster it fills %() according to /etc/codeaster/asrun
I 'll try to check that with codeaster upstream

Mathieu what is the right behaviour?
