I don't think so ...
Anyway, if you want to keep the strict dependency, please mirror it in
the package dependencies (probably in the -dev packages) s.t. every
mpich version bump triggers a mini transition, i.e. a binNMU of petsc.
I'd rather the check gets removed. In my experience, that's due to
overly cautious upstreams, but it's not really suitable for Debian,
where we track ABI breaks. But if I'm wrong and there's a good reason
for that, then yes, we need strict dependencies.
The strict test does seem a little strange.
I'll relax it for Debian and raise an Issue upstream for further
discussion.
