I currently would not recommend to build MPI support for every MPI implementation available. There's a source package "mpi-defaults" available, that builds mpi-default-dev which you can build-dep on, and mpi-default-bin which you can depend on. Those will add the necessary depends for the default MPI implementation in Debian, which currently is Open MPI on the platforms where it is available, and LAM/MPI on others. I'm sorry that there is not more information available right now. This surely needs to be fixed. The package is very simple, though. You will understand it easily or can look at packages already using it. I would recommend using it and ignore other MPI implementations for now. But that's just my opinion, others might see things differently. Best regards Manuel
