[petsc-users] Install PETSc with other libraries via package manager

[Jed Brown]

Looks like the Debian package is built with PTScotch, which is a partitioner similar to ParMETIS that has better license. (ParMETIS has a non-free license and is flagged as such on Debian.) All PETSc builds have LAPACK. If you get it from your package manager, you'll be stuck with a somewhat older version of PETSc. You can also just build in your home directory.
