Hello Åsmund
I think there is a misunderstanding here: I left as a comment that I am 
using Debian unstable, but actually I am using testing, if you look  in 
detail at the repositories' web addresses.
I noticed the following: for debian libumfpack4 is "there":
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libumfpack4
but for testing something funny happens:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/libumfpack4
Now, I am finding out now about virtual packages, so I won't be much 
help here.
Even in stable there is a "normal" package:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/libumfpack4

If I run apt-get update, I do not get any obvious errors:
$ sudo apt-get update

(I was told not to worry about the Ign messages)
However:

Package libdolfin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I am absolutely confused...dolfin is there, but I cannot see it...
