Bug#684344: libopenblas-base: please install OpenMP version

[Steven G. Johnson]

Package: libopenblas-base
Severity: wishlist

Currently, Debian installs the version of OpenBLAS that uses pthreads
parallelism.  In addition to this, or perhaps instead of this, it would
be nice to have a version that uses OpenMP parallelism (compile with
USE_OPENMP=1).

The main reason for an OpenMP version of OpenBLAS is that this makes
OpenBLAS easier to use from software that is already parellelized with
OpenMP -- the software and the OpenBLAS library can then share the
same thread pool and coordinate their usage.
