Package: libblas-dev Version: 3.8.0-7 Severity: normal Hi,
Besides the proposal to remove libcblas from atlas, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943712 I also propose to add a readme file in libblas-dev, e.g. /usr/share/doc/libblas-dev/libcblas.so.README which describes why libcblas.so is not present in debian, and what shared object the maintainer should actually link. In this way, people looking for libcblas.so can find this readme file and avoid the atlas:libcblas.so problem: $ apt-file search libcblas.so libblas-dev: /usr/.../libcblas.so.README
