Bug#860599: libmpich-dev: provide alternative mpi-fort.pc

Package: libmpich-dev
Version: 3.2-7+b1
Severity: normal

The mpi alternatives provide several pkg-config files: mpi-c.pc,
mpi-cxx.pc, mpi-fort.pc, mpi.pc, all provided by openmpi.

But mpich only provides mpi.pc

This somewhat breaks usage of mpi-defaults, since it means we can't
rely on these alternatives existing.  For instance, MUMPS FTBFS on
m68k because mpi-fort is not available.

Should an mpich version of mpi-fort.pc (and mpi-c.pc, mpi-cxx.pc) be
created and added to the mpich alternatives?
