GeographicLib cmake file in wrong place

Bug Description

The geographiclib-dev installer puts the FindGeographicLib.cmake file in:
/usr/share/cmake/geographiclib/FindGeographicLib.cmake

The correct location is:
/usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules

The first location is not in the cmake path, so it never gets found by cmake and is more or less completely useless by default. The file itself seems fine once I add it to the cmake path, so it looks like a simple install script bug.

This bug was originally discovered with libgeographiclib-dev 1.45-2 in xenial, but it appears to still be present in package 1.49 in bionic.
