OK, I finally prepared an SRU to fix all the mpich2 issues, including this one. Patch attached.
Changelog: mpich2 (1.2-1ubuntu1.1) karmic-proposed; urgency=low . * The package uploaded just before the karmic release was done in a hurry. This update fixes several issues that were missed at the time. + Suggest mpich2-doc instead of Recommending it. Makes it easier to co-install with other MPI implementations. + Conflict with mpd (Debian bug #551932). + Fix alternatives mess introduced by openmpi and copied into mpich2. (Debian bug #552429). LP: #460728 + Binaries names are hardcoded in some places. We remove the .py suffix for all of them, but did not fix all the occurences of the binaries names.
