Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships (or creates)
broken symlinks:

0m34.0s ERROR: FAIL: Broken symlinks:

libscotch-dev/libptscotch-dev no longer ship static libraries (*.a)
and instead of libscotchmetis.so there are now libscotchmetisv[35].so
and instead of libptscotchparmetis.so there is now
libptscotchparmetisv3.so.


cheers,
