Cool, thanks for taking a look.

We’ve very much interested in that. However, input labels don’t have a
role here since ‘--with-input’ matches packages by name.
So most likely, we’d (1) use OpenBLAS by default everywhere instead of
netlib blas/lapack, and (2) you’d use:
--with-input=openblas=openblas-tuned
WDYT?
