Hi, Linking programs against reference blas enables us to switch the underlying library smoothly: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/LinearAlgebraLibraries
However, in general libopenblas-dev provides libblas.so, that should be enough to replace the reference blas. The possible reason is that at least one package has a problamatic dependency "libblas-dev" instead of the correct one: "libblas-dev | libblas.so". To me this is just a minor problem.
