Package: libscotchmetis-dev
Followup-For: Bug #506033

Checking the status of this bug, METIS_PartMesh* is still absent from
SCOTCH_Metis.

As far as METIS_WPartGraphKway and METIS_mCPartGraphKway go, 
these functions do not exist in metis 5.1.0. There is only
METIS_PartGraphKway and METIS_PartGraphRecursive, which are already
supported in SCOTCH.

I can see METIS_WPartGraphKway in old metis 3.0.6 source,
and I can see METIS_mCPartGraphKway in metis 4.0.3, but neither are
present in metis 5.1.0.

It is my intention after the bullseye release to start configuring
SCOTCH with SCOTCH_METIS_VERSION=5 (Bug#989783), to better match our
version of libmetis-dev.
