No idea.

We have registered libblas.so and liblapack.so with our
update-alternatives
mechanism. After installing libopenblas with apt, jblas will
automatically
switch to use openblas without recompilation. The blas and lapack
libraries
provide a (mostly consistent API/ABIs). It is not necessary to switch
to
a specific BLAS. You may add openblas to the Recommends: dependency
field
as a strong preference on faster implementations. I have already done
that for a couple of computation intensive packages, e.g., caffe,
pytorch, etc.
