Hi,
13) the -l option of dh_shlibdeps is really unneeded nowadays
<quote>
dh_shlibdeps - calculate shared library dependencies
-ldirectory[:directory ...]
With recent versions of dpkg-shlibdeps, this option is generally
not needed.
It tells dpkg-shlibdeps (via its -l parameter), to look for
private package libraries in the specified directory (or
directories -- separate with colons). With recent versions of
dpkg-shlibdeps, this is mostly only useful (...) or other situations
where the library is installed into a
directory not on the regular library search path.

We install a lot of so-files into /usr/lib/proftpd (as plugins). Is
/usr/lib/... considered to be a "regular library search path"?
After removing that option these messages are still there:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning:
debian/proftpd-mod-ldap/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_ldap.so contains an
unresolvable reference to symbol pr_signals_handle: it's probably a plugin
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 33 other similar warnings have been skipped
(use -v to see them all)
...so this makes me thinks that the option is indeed useless. Please
confirm. Many thanks!
