Package: cabal-debian
Version: 4.35.6-1+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I made example sequence of cabal-debian like following.
`Depends:' block generated by cabal-debian which does not
contain `${shlibs:Depends}' variable.
So dependencies to shared object
which are linked by executables in haskell-*-utils packages
will be not generated.
-------
% cabal unpack text-ldap-0.1.1.8
Unpacking to text-ldap-0.1.1.8/
% cd text-ldap-0.1.1.8
% cabal-debian
% egrep -A 5 haskell-text-ldap-utils debian/control
Package: haskell-text-ldap-utils
Architecture: any
Section: misc
Depends: ${haskell:Depends},
${misc:Depends},
Recommends: ${haskell:Recommends},
-------
I made a small patch to fix this problem like following.
