There are quite a few things already packaged - PVM, LAM, xmpi and
MPICH for example. I can't seem to see an XPvm package. Most of the
relevant packages are in the devel section, so I'd suggest taking a look
through there.
For MPI things are generally done better in the unstable distribution than
in stable although stable should work fine.

Debian packages should all put their programs into the standard /usr
directories. What advantage do you see in seperating out things?
