Actually, this is stated pretty clearly on the ATLAS page:
 "At present, it provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably
 efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK."

So, if you remove LAPACK from ATLAS, you'll also prevent compiling
LAPACK dependent packages against ATLAS.
