Any volunteer to implement this? I admit I feel responsible for the
mess and would surely try to solve it. However, I have the impression
that I'm not the most competent person for the job. While it seems like
simply adding something like
find debian -name "libgslcblas*" -delete
inside debian/rules plus
Depends: lbgsl0ldbl
in debian/control would do the trick I would prefer if somebody who is
more involved in these issues would take an additional look.
Kind regards
Andreas.
