Why do the mpi packages depend on rsh, etc?



Hi all,

I wanted to install mpi and some mpi-related packages, but they seem to
depend either on rsh-client and rsh-server, or on the "Heimdal" secure
alternatives.  I'm using only ssh (Openssh) and I'd like to stay that way. 

I'm using unstable (woody).  Here are some of the packages in question:

 blacs-mpich-dev
 blacs1-mpich
 mpich
 netpipe-mpich
 scalapack-mpich-dev
 scalapack1-mpich

Any reason why they can't be made to offer dependencies on ssh as well? 
File a bug? 

Cheers,

Jose
