Please, use next time ./setup-repository script which is in
/git/debian-science/packages/.
It will set all necessary parameters properly.

I agree here with Sylvestre. If it is possible we should keep only one version
in archive. Please prepare an upload into "experimental", we will upload
it there and check the functionality. Also it should be checked, whether
all packages, which have parmetis in Build-Depends (if any) are still can be
built against new version.

I will have a look tomorrow. If there is nothing critical, I will upload it.
