Maybe we should release a new openmpi to fix the few trivial bugs, and maybe add a NEWS or README item indicating this open issue with the alternatives -- and how our hands are tied by update-alternatives -- to give this some more visibility. I think that would improve over more packages still building with lam 'just because they always did'. Thoughts?
