Package: atlas3-base-dev
Version: 3.6.0-20.6
Severity: wishlist

Are you planning to migrate atlas to gfortran?  Using gfortran -ff2c
is insufficient for code that mixes the single-precision BLAS/LAPACK
and intrinsics.  Intrinsics will return a single in single, and the f2c 
ABI returns singles in double.  On x86-like platforms, mixing the two 
silently produces garbage results.

(Plus, we're likely to start using F90 features in LAPACK.  So at some 
point gfortran will be necessary.)
