Sounds cool.  Just two questions:

First, suppose I have a package which can be built against mpich or lam, 
selected by an environment variable (defaults to mpich).  Will the 
future lam3-dev be all I need to build this with MPE support in lam? 
Will I be able to just link -lmpe -lpmpich, or will those names change? 
Will they be shared libs, or just static like in mpich?

Second, why create a new package, instead of just including it in the 
lam source, or extracting it at bulid time using "apt get source mpich 
&& mv mpich-ver.si.on/src/mpe ." somewhere in debian/rules (like atlas 
does for blas and lapack)?

Thanks,
