I hop in here.
I think there are several problems with the current approach:
1) How should ATLAS rdependencies handle this gigantic number of
packages? Put them all into Recommends? I have some sympathy for a big
all-in-one package (hey, it would make my life easier :) )
2) Ability to debug:
Current atlas ftbfs on amd64 (build.debian.org is down, so no link. It
failed at the end, though). So, I wanted to have a look at it, but
according to the (non-linked) log, the build took almost 6 hours. This
is beyond anything one can reasonably wait for.
So, my personal preference would be:
Less stuff as a whole to reduce the build time and ideally just one
package (although a pure-dependency package pulling in everything else
would be fine as well).
Thanks
