These two will be an easy solution. However, almost all cBLAS-using
software includes not <atlas/cblas.h> but <cblas.h>, building user
software with installing only libatlas-dev and not libblas-dev will fail.

Well, the interface defined in cblas.h is standard, so ATLAS will
properly works with cblas.h from libblas-dev.

I prefer this option. As mentioned above, preference of libblas-dev
should be higher than that of atlas provided version. The user of this
header file will be very happy when this alternative usage is mentioned
in README.Debian.

This should be the last option ;)
