Bug#817988: libc6-dev: libm.so no longer a symlink in 2.22-2 ; break dlopen() in mpi4py

Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.22-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 8.4 /usr/lib/$ARCH/libm.so is no longer a symlink in 2.22-2, thus breaking packages which try to use it. In particular, mpi4py dynamically links libm.so leading an FTBFS #817884 >>> from mpi4py import dl >>> libm='libm.so'
