It is not a classical transition but the Debian Science team would like
to upload of BLAS / LAPACK and ATLAS this week.
This is described here:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/LinearAlgebraLibraries
I sent an email to debian-release to double check my proposal:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/03/msg00051.html
but I haven't received an answer yet.
Updated packages are available in experimental. My tests show it is
working smoothly and I am going to do more tests in the next few days.

These are common libraries in the numerical computing world. ATLAS (an
high performance BLAS implementation) has 4 RCs in testing/unstable
which are going to be fixed with this upload (with many others)
I can provide more information if needed.

Thanks,
Sylvestre
