I guess Manuel's idea was to test first (under experimental) that
packages would build fine under mpi-defaults[mpich2]. Certainly my
intention with gerris was just to check the build result. With the
result being somewhat odd and unexpected, but not because of mpich2.
I think there were questions regarding some other packages, in relation
to whether they'd build fine under mpich2 instead of lam, see
