Bug#938925: xmds2: fails mpi hdf5 tests

[Drew Parsons]

Source: xmds2
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-2
Severity: serious

xmds2's mpi/hdf5 tests (test_mpi_xsilloading_hdf5 etc) have recently started
failing.

h5py was recently (2.9.0-4) updated to build with mpi support, that is
built against libhdf5-mpi-dev (aided by mpi4py) rather than libhdf5-dev.

I don't know if it means xmds2 just needs to be rebuilt against the
new h5py/mpi4py packages or if the problem is more complex than that.

The xmds2 autopkgtest failure is holding back h5py with mpi support
from migrating to testing.
