The libraries change SOVERSION differently, so I guess joining them is a bad idea. What libraries aren't we shipping, the openmp and pthreads nvector libraries (there currently isn't packages for them)? We could create a libsundials-dev, which has recommends for *-dev packages and which includes the pkg-config files and solver/nvector independent stuff.
Also, is anyone else running into a problem with conflicting openmpi requirements? Is there a way to request petsc gets rebuild against openmpi?
