You are right. I forgot to update it for making the package depends on
the new binary name.

Now I understand you. I hadn't seen this:
https://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?maint=pkg-openmpi-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
I will keep the name you created because the changes that I made don't
have sense knowing this.

No, it is OK for me. Thanks for noticing this.
