All major things are fixed now:
* python scripting works
* MPI works
* binary package size is 35MB
* tested on i386 and amd64
what remains:
* manpages
* lintian warnings fixes
The updodate wokring packages compiled for i386 and amd64 can always
be found here:
http://debian.certik.cz/
Feel free to test them and report all bugs to our mailinglist. Also
any help with fixing the remaining things is appreciated.
