The rebuilds were done by the release team, it's a regular transition they know about. As it seems, I missed communicating it to the maintainers of dependant packages. Sorry for that! :( Before the transition, I rebuild all dependant packages without problems in a clean chroot. While rebuilding on the buildds, a lot of packages were hit by a bug in update-alternatives. A solution is known, I will integrate it in Open MPI today and re-upload. The release team will reschedule the builds. It's just an ABI change, so a rebuild is enough to fix it. The release team will take care of that, binNMUs by the maintainers are not needed. The breakage was not expected. I'm sorry if some software became uninstallable! We're trying to sort it out ASAP. Best regards Manuel, with his Open MPI maintainer hat
