It fails for me also, on a freshly installed jessie virtualbox image.
And altough [1] tells me that libopenmpi1.6 is version 1.6.5-9.1 in
jessie, there is no build log on [2] for this version. The list shown on
[2] does indeed say version "1.6.5-9.1" for jessie/amd, but clicking on
the logs link, i only get logs for 1.6.5-9.2, which is in unstable. So
there is no buildd log for 1.6.5-9.1, or at least i cannot find it.


So, being unable to 'apt-get source openmpi' + debuild afterwards
justifies Severity: serious to me.
