updating mpi-defaults (decommissioning lam)
mpi-defaults current makes a number of architectures broken [1] because
they have the default mpi implementation set to lam (where openmpi is
not available)
A patch changing the default mpi from lam to mpich has been stagnating
in git for more than a year, and missed the release of squeeze.
I have the will to upload the new mpi-defaults (I'll apply the patch in
#575259 while I'm at it) and would like to do so. Please speak up if
you would prefer me not to take this action.
