Bug#765795: openblas: new upstream version (0.2.12)

[Ghislain Vaillant]

No problem. I know that the upcoming freeze makes for very tight 
timings. I will leave it like that until Jessie's release then. Besides, 
the changelog list does not that big so the most severe bugs should be 
manageable by subsequent patching.

Merci Sebastien,
Ghis
