Unfortunately, fixing this bug is going to require some effort. I've just filed http://bugs.debian.org/552429 so we can decide on the best course of action.

In the meantime, you can run:
update-alternatives --remove-all mpirun
update-alternatives --remove-all mpiexec
That will make the alternatives system forget about LAM.

Changed in mpich2 (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Confirmed

mpich2+sru.debdiff Edit (11.0 KiB, text/plain)

OK, I finally prepared an SRU to fix all the mpich2 issues, including this one. Patch attached.

Changelog:
mpich2 (1.2-1ubuntu1.1) karmic-proposed; urgency=low
.
   * The package uploaded just before the karmic release was done in a
     hurry. This update fixes several issues that were missed at the time.
     + Suggest mpich2-doc instead of Recommending it. Makes it easier to
       co-install with other MPI implementations.
     + Conflict with mpd (Debian bug #551932).
     + Fix alternatives mess introduced by openmpi and copied into mpich2.
       (Debian bug #552429). LP: #460728
     + Binaries names are hardcoded in some places. We remove the .py
       suffix for all of them, but did not fix all the occurences of the
       binaries names. LP: #488109
