Bug#1016084: transition: petsc

[Drew Parsons <dparsons@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

I'd like to proceed with the next upgrade of the numerical library
stack*.

superlu-dist   7.2.0 -> 8.1.0
hypre          2.23.0 -> 2.25.0
mumps          5.4.1 -> 5.5.0
petsc          3.16 -> 3.17
slepc          3.16 -> 3.17
with petsc4py, slepc4py


I've checked reverse dependencies build.
They had a couple of problems evidently not related to this transition
  - siconos had some problem with source
  - freefem++ required parmetis (not declared in Build-Depends)

Other dependent packages built fine.
