Description
Hello,
Just tried the prebuilt [hdf5-2.1.1-ubuntu-2404_gcc.deb](releases/download/2.1.1/hdf5-2.1.1-ubuntu-2404_gcc.deb) ; but upon installation, the binaries don't go to the usual /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin paths. As a result, they are not usable out of the box:
```shell
root@thpalex:~# head /var/lib/dpkg/info/hdf5.list
/HDF_Group
/HDF_Group/HDF5
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin/h5c++
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin/h5cc
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin/h5clear
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin/h5copy
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin/h5debug
/HDF_Group/HDF5/2.1.1/bin/h5delete
```
Cursory examination of the other packages and tgz shows a similar layout. What am I missing ?
