There will likely be a 2.9.4 snapshot soon.  It will depend on
ufsparse instead of umfpack.  We are expecting ufsparse to provide the
libraries -lamd -lumfpack and -lcolamd.  You can check the current
configure.in in CVS for more details.  Will you please check on the
status of packaging ufsparse for Debian?
