No library file(s) [libgeant***.a] nor header files are installed on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I cannot find any GEANT3 library or header files after installating the *geant321* packages :

bash$ dpkg -l | grep geant3
ii geant321 1:3.21.14.dfsg-9build1 [Physics] Particle detector description and simulation tool
ii geant321-data 1:3.21.14.dfsg-9build1 [Physics] Data for GEANT 3.21 detector simulator
ii geant321-doc 1:3.21.14.dfsg-9build1 [Physics] Documentation for GEANT 3.21
ii libgeant321-2-dev 1:3.21.14.dfsg-9build1 [Physics] Library for GEANT 3.21 (development files)
ii libgeant321-2-gfortran 1:3.21.14.dfsg-9build1 [Physics] Library for GEANT 3.21
bash$ find /usr/lib -name "libgeant*" # prints nothing

This suggests a bug in the build of some of the geant321 packages.

This is caused by a change in cernlib. Tested in both raring and debian unstable as well, and rebuilding the package there results in empty packages. Forwarded the bug to debian with a description of the fix.
