Well, while I consider myself important I'd feel even worse if you had 
written *THE*. ;) No worries!

One other thing, while it would be convenient for me to have this 
feature in the Debian package it is by no means a show stopper. As you 
pointed out I can easily build the static libraries myself and get my 
work done. That's also why I filed it as a "wishlist" item. I didn't 
want you guys prioritizing this because of one whiny guy. I just wanted 
to bring it to your attention and let you decide how you wanted to 
prioritize it.

That said, I appreciate all the work you've already done on packaging 
OpenMPI for Debian and for the time you've spent bouncing my request 
around. Thanks!

Gary
