This bug affects the version in testing (and stable) as well. The
ldconfig bug at least violates policy 8.1.1.

This all happens because debhelper looks at the SONAME (not filename) o
f the library and if it is unversioned, it will assume it is private
and not generate any ldconfig calls.

You should try any persuade upstream to use a correct SONAME like: 
 libiomp.so.5

The file 'libiomp5.so.5' is completely worthless because the SONAME is
still 'libiomp5.so' (which is what the linker will look at). You should
probably remove it. To fix the SONAME properly you must pass '-soname'
to the linker.

Until that's done, you might be able to hack something up with manual
ldconfig calls - it won't be nice though.

Thanks,
James
