Severity: serious

Justification: Policy 2.2.1

mpich was caught up in the C++ transition, and has also dropped the mpich
package.  mpicc and friends have moved to a libmpich1.0-dev package, and
the runtime has moved to mpich-bin.

Attached is a patch that I believe should fix the build and runtime
dependencies, although please take a look and be sure that this is the
correct runtime dependency.  After applying this patch, a new upload is
needed to build against the new mpich shared libraries, since the shared
library package has changed names given the C++ transition.

Please try to do this soon as possible, as all of mpich's dependencies
have to be transitioned for mpich to move into testing.

Thanks!
