None. Let's simply delete it and be done with it. If the need for it
arises in the future, let's solve the problem then.

Excellent, thanks for the screenshot.
We should also put "openmpi-bin" into recommends or suggests, because
it contains the "mpirun" command.
There is also an option to put pvserver to a separate package, so that
the user doesn't have to install QT libraries on the server. But I am
for fixing the python issue and upload as is now.
