I don't mind much to change to libsuperlu-dev. Is this future-proof, for the foreseeable future? Or there are plans for the -dev be versioned again in the near future? Also, k3d doesn't show up in the transitions page for superlu, and the transition doesn't show up in K3D's PTS page :-? Cheers. -- Manuel A.
