The latest version of superlu-dist introduces a API/ABI bump (it came
in superlu-dist 6.3, but we can pick it up from v6.4)

The new package is currently waiting in the NEW queue aimed at
experimental. I wanted to file this transition request ahead of time
before it's accepted to give you notice that it's coming, since the
debian stable freeze will start soon.

The new version introduces support for complex numbers as well as real
numbers, along with other performance improvements, so would be nice
to get it into the forthcoming stable release.

I would update hypre from 2.18 to 2.20 at the same time (the API
change in superlu-dist means that hypre needs to be upgraded too)

I've confirmed that both petsc and sundials build and pass tests with
superlu-dist 6.4 and hypre 2.20, and will check again once
libsuperlu-dist6.4 is available in experimental.
