"Everyone knows"? I think pretty much everyone expects to link their stuff 
with -llapack -lblas and get the most efficient implementation out there, 
especially when ATLAS *already* goes through the trouble of overriding all 
these libraries:
libcblas.so.3
libclapack.so.3
libf77blas.so.3
liblapack.so.3
libptcblas.so.3
libptf77blas.so.3

Only libblas.so.3 is renamed to libatlas.so.3 for some reason I cannot 
fathom.

The behavior is inconsistent and broken. But the new behavior, while more 
consistent, is at least as broken. There is ONE correct behavior (and that 
goes for ANY BLAS/LAPACK implementation: ATLAS, OpenBLAS etc.): ship 
libblas.so.3 and liblapack.so.3, NOT libjoesblas.so.31337.
