[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#566541: libhdf5-serial-dev: Please consider changing the name of libhdf5-serial-* packages

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Package: libhdf5-serial-dev
Version: 1.8.3-2.1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

It would be nice if you could consider changing the name of libhdf5-serial-* 
packages. Most of the time, users are going to use this package and the 
fact that it is serial does not provide any advantages. Only confusion.

Users needing mpi features will know how to handle it.

Thanks for considering that, 
Sylvestre
