[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#510057: Consider creating "default MPI" version

[Adam C Powell IV]

Greetings,

Because MPICH1 and LAM are long since end-of-life, this is taking on a
new urgency.  The Debian Science team is planning to deprecate the LAM
and MPICH1 packages for squeeze, and remove them entirely for squeeze+1.
[1]  For this reason, a package built against mpi-defaults should be the
only MPI version of most packages for squeeze and moving forward.

I would be happy to provide a patch to make this happen, as I did to
create the openmpi version.  If you prefer to have the current three
plus an mpi-defaults version, I would be happy to make that happen as
well, just let me know either way.

Regards,
Adam
