Source: lam
Version: 7.1.2-2
Severity: serious
Tags: wheezy sid
With the default mpi implementation being openmpi / mpich2, there
shouldn't be a need for a third (and fourth, with mpich) implementation
in the wheezy release.
Cheers,

Greetings, and thanks for your report!
Unfortunately, I disagree with your suggestion. Forced obsolescence is
a tried and true stratagem in the arsenal backing non-free software,
openly at variance with the purpose of Debian to actually serve the
needs of its users. I know specifically of real companies using the
Debian lam packages, but even if I did not, there are countless examples
in the archives providing older source in a convenient form awaiting the
possibility of someone coming along and making use of it. I think lam
and any package should be terminated when it can no longer be built,
when the maintainer loses interest, or when there is some other
irreparable policy violation.
Take care,
