As a maintainer of the Debian package, I welcome patches to add support
for these.  VTK 5 and SLEPc are both in Debian, so this shouldn't be
hard.

If you want the Debian petsc with mpich, you can build the source
package with PETSC_MPI=mpich ; if it doesn't work it's a bug.  (I
maintain that too. :-)

The Debian package builds just fine with petsc 2.3.3...
