Here is the answer: "There are no current plans to change the parallel HDF5 library name to another name. However, this has been a source of confusion over the years, so I entered a bug report for it. (I don't know of any ramifications to renaming the parallel library, but I think the best solution would be for us to provide it with a different name.)" (the bug report is not public). As Julien suggested a few days ago on IRC, we could provide a patch for this but I don't think it is a technical issue but more organisation/politic issue for their users. We could try to make Debian move to the renaming of all MPI HDF5 libraries but this will be diverging a lot from upstream while confusing our users (but I don't know if it would confuse less or more than the current solution).
