I'd also like to add a request for pulling the most recent Debian
version of fftw 3.3 (more specifically fftw-dev), precisely *because* it
includes MPI support as well as AVX support, which the Ubuntu version
doesn't.

I'm one of the authors of the XMDS2 numerical differential equation
solver (www.xmds.org), and our XMDS2 installer for Ubuntu currently has
to download the source for FFTW 3.3 and compile it on the local machine
with MPI and AVX configuration options. This slow and fragile. Pulling
FFTW in from the Ubuntu repos like all the other dependencies would be
really nice.

I'm not completely sure how the Ubuntu repositories are organised, but
if the openmpi package isn't going to move to main, could an MPI / AVX
enabled-version of FFTW 3.3 sit in Universe? Or would different builds
of the same package in different repositories be a non-starter?
