According to FAQ 7 at http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building it should be as simple as adding --enable-static to the configure call to these build. We then have to look into getting them properly into the package. We are all a little short of spare time. Could you possibly venture into the first point and see if modifying debian/rules accordingly results in usable static libraries ?
