Greetings, I am writing to request that scotch 5.0.6-1 (uploaded 7/21) and libmesh 0.6.2-2 (uploaded 7/25) be included in the Lenny release. Scotch is in the NEW queue because this release added shared libraries. The libmesh release closes a lot of bugs, and uses the scotch shared libraries, so it is in Dep-Wait state waiting for the new scotch package.
I have been using the scotch/libmesh combination extensively, and the quality is very high. The shared scotch libs cut the size of binaries quite a bit, and libmesh has multiple usability enhancements, including a link to VTK 5 which makes it easier to drop GMV (non-free and not in Debian) as a visualization engine. Please let me know if you need any additional information, and please CC me in any replies.
