Public bug reported:
The unixodbc library includes a odbc_config tool that build systems can
use to locate header and library files. This tool is not available in
unixodbc-dev and so tools like CMake do not know where to find the
library's headers and binary.

I expected CMake to find the ODBC package when building a project that
depends on unixodbc.
$ cmake .. --debug-find-pkg=ODBC
Running with debug output on for the 'find' commands for package(s) ODBC.
