Dear Francesco,
This patch has been available since early February now, and without it a
number of packages are blocked. Those include new packages for Salomé
and Code-Aster, a mpi-defaults transition for Octave, and a working
version of med-fichier. With the freeze coming up soon, it would help a
lot of people to get this done, as these engineering simulation packages
could enter Debian in time for the squeeze release.
Also, mpi-defaults in unstable still uses lam, so the patch is still
current, though it won't be for long.
What more do you need to make this happen? How can I help?
-Adam
