Bug#1118272: dh-fortran-mod

Ok,

[ for some reason I didn't get this report directly; sorry about any 
delays ]

Two things are happening here:
(1) dh-fortran-mod changed from depending on gfortran to 
gfortran-for-host (as was recommended for cross-building). Some packages 
were relying on this for gfortran, but gfortran-for-host is not pulling 
in a compiler that the  build system eg cmake or meson can use.
Reverting this change.

(2) There was a change in dh_fortran_lib behaviour, used experimentally 
in some packages I maintain. Uploading fixes for these. (dh_fortran_lib 
now installs in the target pkg rather than working in debian/tmp, to be 
consistent with other dh_ packages).

Regards

Alastair
