The debhelper compat bump was already reverted, just not documented in the changelog. The multiarchification is the only way to properly synchronize the alternatives handling with openmpi and mpich, all three implementations need to be co-installable. There are "normal" alternatives for the binaries and multiarch-alternatives for the libraries, while in stretch there was only a single alternative for both binaries and libraries. It would be a horrible mess to support both schemes at the same time. Unfortunately these issues have been neglected for too long. > I also have concerns about this package being abandoned upstream since > 2015, as described in #922633. I'll let the maintainer comment on this. Andreas
