Bug#679929: libmpich2-dev: missing slave alternative for mpiCC

[Sébastien Villemot]

Package: libmpich2-dev
Version: 1.4.1-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

libmpich2-dev does not provide a slave alternative for mpiCC (note the
capitals), contrary to lam4-dev and libopenmpi-dev.

This is causing the octave-openmpi-ext package to FTBFS on arches where mpich2
is the default MPI implementation:

Thanks,
