Hello Lorenzo,

It's libsuitesparse which provides libumfpack4 but unfortunately when I 
checked it last night at home on an i386 box, it provides libumfpack4 
without a version, while dolfin requires a version number. These little 
differences between debian and ubuntu sometimes make you mad. :-(

In official debian, packages will migrate from unstable/sid to testing 
after some time if no critical bugs are found.

Regards,
ST
