I've had that before. I think there is a debhelper option we can use. 
[ Goes searching ... ]  Yup.  Please try adding '-n' in the call to
dh_makeshlibs.  As per dh_makeshlibs(7):
 
      -n, --noscripts
           Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.

with a predicate to make this on libopenmpi-dev, or alternatively try
dh_makeshlibs only on libopenmpi1 and not on all.
