You lost me. Please make up your mind as to whether you think it is a problem
because we do or do not use /usr/include, or /usr/include/openmpi ?

We use /usr/include/openmpi now, and we think that's the right way:

edd at ron:~$ dpkg -L libopenmpi-dev | grep mpi.h
/usr/lib/openmpi/include/mpi.h
/usr/lib/openmpi/include/openmpi/ompi/mpi/f77/prototypes_mpi.h
edd at ron:~$ dpkg -l libopenmpi-dev

edd at ron:~$ 

No bug here, and if you could excuse me now, I got real work to do.
