It does. Uselessly :( Here is a snippet of the build log: dh_shlibdeps -a dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libdb-4.8.so could be avoided if "debian/libapache2-mod-perl2/usr/lib/perl5/auto/APR/APR.so" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). So it seems we have an example of troublesome needless dependency to solve. (There is also useless linking to libcrypt.so.1 and libm.so.6 but these are part of libc6 and don't pose a problem for now)
