Right, thanks for pointing this out (I need to RTFP :-). So the source would become contrib, because some of the binaries would need contrib software to build on one platform. But then, can I put the gcc/g77-built binaries in main?

I guess the proper way to do this would be to assemble a separate contrib "petsc-dec" source package. But then, the additional petsc_2.1.0.orig.tar.gz would take another ~7 megs on the mirrors!
So maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. I'll just leave it as-is, with instructions for building the faster version with ccc/cfal.
