+How to load optimized/custom atlas libraries
+============================================
+
+In the previous packages of Atlas, each packages was configured through
+/etc/ld.so.conf.d/.
+Since Atlas 3.8.3-1, this mechanism has been removed since it is forbidden
+by the Debian Policy.
+
+For now, the way to load one optimized library or the other is left to the
+application based on atlas or to the final application user.
+This can be done through LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD.
+
+If someone has a solution to automate this behavior, please drop me an email.
+I will be happy to implement a perfect solution.
+
+See rational:

 Thanks to David Cournapeau for providing all the patches for the shared 
 libraries managements.
 
 Most the information underneath are outdated. They are left here "in case".
