Bug#660241: libhypre-2.4.0: should be two packages: libhypre-openmpi and libhypre-mpich2

Package: libhypre-2.4.0
Version: 2.4.0b-7
Severity: important


Hypre works fine with mpich2. Instalation via debian package invariably ties
it up with openmpi. When target user has a preference for mpich2 (or a specific
need for mpich2), the libhypre debian package is no good. Package should be 
constructed in the manner of libhdf5, which provides the virtual package libhdf5 from
both libhdf5-openmpi.deb and libhdf5-mpich2.deb.
