I'm attaching a patch vs. current SVN which adds an extra package
libhdf5-mpi-dev, that package is empty and depends on the default MPI
version of libhdf5-*-dev for each platform.  It has to be Arch: any
because it will depend on a different package for different platforms.

This will provide a good migration path for squeeze: people who have
been using a specific MPI implementation can still do so, while those
who want to make their package depend on the default MPI version can
have something in squeeze which should be compatible with squeeze+1.

There's one problem though: mpi-defaults is about to transition from lam
to mpich2 on platforms which don't support openmpi.  This will require a
new mpich2 version of HDF5 to make it work.  I'd be glad to make a patch
for that if you like.

-Adam
