Given Dominique's reply on #767411, from my POV I think the best
solution would be to remove torque completely for jessie (i.e. first
drop support from openmpi to be able to remove the package and
remaining reverse dependencies).

Alastair, could you please take care of updating openmpi to drop the
torque support?

Salvatore
