In fact, I noticed that, and that's a serious packaging bug.
If a package links -lblas -llapack, if ATLAS is installed, it'll get
reference BLAS and ATLAS LAPACK! If it links -llapack -lblas, it'll probably
get the ATLAS functions throughout, because then libatlas is resolved first.
That's very unexpected and broken behavior.
No, you're assuming nonstandard behavior. ATLAS has never done this.
I don't care what Debian does. Fedora tries to be in close contact with
upstream, which also includes not breaking their naming style.
