This looks suspicious. Please give me all of the relevant information about
your system (Debian branch, architecture, version numbers of all involved
packages, etc.)...note that this would already be included if you had reported
this as a bug against rrdtool, which you should probably do next time you have
a problem like this.
Please also include the version of dpkg-dev that you are using, as
dpkg-shlibdeps appears to be failing here.

For some reason, ldd is failing to find the library dependencies for RRDs.so
and tclrrd.so. The fact that ldd is being used at all means that you are
probably using an old dpkg (potato?), as the current dpkg-shlibdeps uses
objdump rather than ldd.
It is possible that some changes I made recently to the build process have
caused it to stop working with older dpkg versions; I may have to add a
versioned Build-Depends for this.

This is fallout from the failed shlibdeps calculation.
