Thanks, I'll pass that recommendation on to Andreas.
In our fenics package, we could set
Suggests: mshr
(until CGAL liberation is ready in the mshr package)
That won't get in the way of anything, but it will signal that we do
have mshr available for Debian (in a sense). Users can easily build it
from the git repo.
