Package: debhelper Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i To make it easier to generate correct dependencies for udebs, please consider attached patches.
The patches add support for generating extra udeb: lines in shlibs files. This is controlled by a new argument "--add-udeb" which takes the name of the udeb package which contains the libs as value. This BR goes together with a path for dh_shlibdeps that makes use of these added lines but which is filed separately because it depends on a change in dpkg-dev. The patches in this BR could be applied now so we could make a start getting libraries ready for when dpkg-dev adds its support. Please check the patches for correct implementation.
