[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#434792: suitesparse: FTBFS: Not using -fPIC to make shared library.

[Ondrej Certik]

Hi, I fixed the package and I tested it to build both on i386 and
amd64. I updated the changelog, so it should be ready for upload.
Petsc is waiting for it to build and my packages libmesh, slepc and
python-petsc are waiting for petsc.
