Bug#819990: [libnvidia-ml1] can not dlopen(libnvidia-ml.so) from app

I don't know if this is suitable for this packet or if there is another
solution.

I debugged an issue with the boinc-client package where it couldn't get
the cuda driver version using libnvidia-ml.so. It turns out I had to do
'ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/current/libnvidia-ml.so
/usr/lib/libnvidia-ml.so' in order to get the driver version because
dlopen() couldn't find the so file.

Now whereis libnvidia-ml.so also works.

Regards
Christian
