Sure.

The bigger problem is that SPRNG is really outdated, as is the package itself
(and its packaging).  We have better parallel RNGs now, and those should
probably be used.  So maybe it is time for this package to die ...

Hi Dirk,

I stumbled upon this since the Debian Med package tree-puzzle
is affected.  Wouldn't the patch as easy as

cd $somewhere && $(MAKE) && cd ..

BTW, I think this package would be a sensible candidate for Debian
Science team maintenance and I'd volunteer to move it to Debian Science
Git.

Kind regards

   Andreas.
