Sorry, I missed your email.

About the missing /etc/ld.so.conf.d/atlas.conf, it is no longer allowed
by the Debian policy.

It is described in the README.Debian:
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-scicomp/atlas/trunk/debian/README.Debian?view=markup
and also:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-scicomp-devel/2009-October/004582.html

If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate ;)
