Package: openmpi
Version: 1.2.4-3
Severity: minor

The openmpi package has Build-Depends: libsysfs-dev for some (probably
historical) reason.  However, I have just tested a build on a system
without libsysfs installed at all, and it completed fine.

The upstream changelog says:

- Removed dependency on sysfsutils from the openib BTL for
  libibverbs >=v1.1 (i.e., OFED 1.2 and beyond).

and the Debian archive has libibverbs 1.1.1.

As far as I can tell, the dependency on libsysfs-dev should be removed.
