Bug Description

In jammy repository, there was an update from octave 6.2.0-1 to 6.4.0-2.

We have a problem finding the libs, now, because the package "liboctave-dev" has lost the symlinks to the libs.

6.2.0-1

```
$ dpkg -L liboctave-dev | grep "\.so"
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctave.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so

$ ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctave.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 8 2021 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctave.so -> liboctave.so.8.0.1
```

6.4.0-2

```
$ dpkg -L liboctave-dev | grep "\.so" ## <- only transitional package, now
$ dpkg -L octave-dev | grep "\.so"
$ dpkg -L octave | grep "\.so"
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctave.so.8.0.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctgui.so.6.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctinterp.so.9.0.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctave.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctave.so.8
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctgui.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctgui.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctinterp.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/6.4.0/liboctinterp.so.9
```

Libs are moved to subdirectory `octave/6.4.0`.

Would it be possible to get the symlinks, again, or maybe a ldconfig file in the package?

Thanks!
