Ah, thanks for the confirmation. I have to admit that I forgot some
details. But anyway it seems that I have done the right thing for Gentoo
when writing that blas/lapack switching mechanism.  :-)

Currently Debian's MKL package only registers libmkl_rt.so as a
candidate for libblas.so.3, and we can guarantee that all packages
requiring libblas.so.3 are built against the standard netlib.
