I did the same yesterday, and things are almost working. No problems 
with petsc, but there is a problem with openmpi. This is fixed for 
Debian Sid, but not in Ubuntu. Johannes made a replacement package 
available on packages.simula.no (see the README file).

There is no need for MPI whatsoever if scotch and petsc are unavailable? 
I guess the build system should avoid using mpi in that case.
