Afraid I couldn't parse that debian link - no idea what any of it meant, and there was no identified problem listed there.
My concern here is that we seem to be putting something in the OMPI code base that has nothing to do with OMPI itself. Debian has had an OMPI package for awhile now, and inserting the required infrastructure to create the desired package is part of that game. I have yet to see an explanation for what changed at their level that now requires a change at ours, so perhaps that would have been the place to start. Can someone explain what happened at the Debian packaging level? Maybe a directory is now required, or maybe some other solution would be better/appropriate.
