Where is that reference made?  Could you point to a concrete file to fixed?

Strange, you should have gotten an error on installation then.  Which Debian
package did you install:  "stable" or "testing/unstable"?  

Anyway, please install any of the packages providing a blas library -- either 
the non-optimised blas package or an optimised Atlas library matching your 
hardware.
