This in nonsensical on Debian; we do not have file depends, nor any
tradition for such naming of library packages. What you probably meant
to say is
Provides: libblas3
Actually, the package should be renamed into libblas3, as per Policy;
you might want to keep the Provides: refblas3 for compatibility if
that's required :-)

The second part of the report is now fixed, since the shared library
package is now called "libblas3".
Concerning the Provides, I agree that "libblas.so.3" is not a common
name, but AFAIK such a naming is not forbidden either, and it is
self-explanatory. This Provides is used also by the other BLAS
implementations (ATLAS, OpenBLAS), and changing it would involve a
quasi-transition, for a benefit which is at most cosmetic. I am
therefore closing this bug, but feel free to reopen if you still think
this is a bug (and not just a cosmetic issue).
Cheers,
