I definitely vote for (2) ... No separate libmpiuni (put stuff
libpetscsys), put mpi.*.* in  ${PETSC_ARCH}/include/

However, just in case (think of ./configure --with-mpi=0 --prefix=/usr) ...

I think we could do the following:

1) rename/move "include/mpiuni/mpi.h" to "include/mpiuni.h"

2) autogenerate a header file "$PETSC_ARCH/include/petscmpi.h",
#include'ing "mpi.h" or "mpiuni.h" depending on configuration.

3) Change "petsc.h" to #incluide "petscmpi.h" instead of "mpi.h"

What do you think?
