libnl-route-3-200 missing symlink

There should be a symlink:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-route-3.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-route-3.so.200
otherwise compilers (gcc) complain that they can't find -lnl-route-3

Thank you for taking the time to submit this report and helping to make Ubuntu better.

On Debian and Ubuntu the .so symlinks for build purposes are supplied by the -dev package. In this case you want libnl-route-3-dev which ships /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-route-3.so on amd64, for example.

This is by design, so I am marking this bug Invalid.
