Sylvestre, 

the right solution for me is fixing debian/shlibs.in in hdf5 to suggest
the right combinatin of serial AND parallel flavors:

libhdf5_cpp 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@
libhdf5_fortran 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@
libhdf5 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-openmpi- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-mpich2- at SONAME@
libh5test 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-openmpi- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-mpich2- at SONAME@
libhdf5_hl 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-openmpi- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-mpich2- at SONAME@
libhdf5_hl_cpp 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-openmpi- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-mpich2- at SONAME@
libhdf5hl_fortran 7 libhdf5- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-openmpi- at SONAME@ | libhdf5-mpich2- at SONAME@

Does it make sense?
