indeed it is, and i missed that. curiously, parmetis is non-free, and
that is why i missed it.

from my understanding (to some extent?) trilinos is free, so it might
make sense to not use/link\ against libparmetis. doesn't the build
dependency render your package non-free?

particularly, there is gplv3 licensed software around (xyce) that build
depends on trilinos. i'm no license or dfsg expert, anyhow, this doesn't
look very clean to me..

thanks
