Source: mpi4py
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

python-mpi4py has Depends on mpi-default-bin, whilst python3-mpi4py only has
Recommends. This inconsistency can affect packages relying on mpi4py, such as
pyfr which I personally maintain.

Please fix the inconsistency by choosing a common package relationship for
mpi-default-bin. It would make sense to have python3-mpi4py Depends rather
since I don't think mpi4py is any useful without an mpi runner.

Cheers,
Ghis
