Indeed, what were we thinking here Manuel?

In light of this, can you remind me why you put the libs into
/usr/lib/openmpi ?  I understand why we put the _internal_ library files like 

-rw-r--r-- root/root     65620 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_oob_tcp.so
-rw-r--r-- root/root     25084 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_btl_sm.so
-rw-r--r-- root/root     65244 2007-12-12 13:13 ./usr/lib/openmpi/lib/openmpi/mca_pml_ob1.so
[...]

there, but for the visible libraries were are introducing breakage by hiding
them.  I am leaning towards pulling them back.  Am I overlooking something?
