I didn't ignore it, we were talking about this issue on bugzilla and list.

The workaround you suggest is looking more like papering over an issue that will
revenge itself later. You suggest to force the choice on BR, but we have no sane
way to do so for the run-time dependencies, too. Starting to work around that,
too, is the wrong angle to attack this. The issue is a generic problem between
lapack and atlas and needs to be resolved and not looked away from. I opened bug
#258041 for this issue and made it a blocker.

OK, I suggest if you have the time that you clean up the patch and submit it to
this bugzilla.
