Sorry for my previous sketchy answer mixing up debhelper and
dpkg-shlibdeps: according to https://bugs.debian.org/596715#10
dpkg-shlibdeps is the right place to implement this.

Thanks! I had a look at it, but unfortunately I don't think I'm able to
solve this in the foreseeable future - I'm just too unfamiliar with perl
(as basically any language that's not shell), and I don't have enough
time for changing this currently.
So I'd be grateful to anybody who tackles this. At DebConf16 Nils
Thykier showed a little bit of interest in looking into this, but no
promises were made at all.
Thus having said, while directly handling this with dpkg-shlibdeps is
the "perfect" solution, imo the current implementation is quite "good"
and does its job. Besides the recent issue caused by the use of
"-nostdlib" (which had also caused build failures on Ubuntu arm
architectures), I'm only aware of one issue in Ubuntu where
_unversioned_ sonames are necessary so that libGL.so is found.
