Correct. You could also divert the dpkg-shlibdeps in potato, and copy just
that file from the woody version (it's a perl script with no additional
dependencies). See dpkg-divert(8). Remember to remove this diversion if you
upgrade to woody.
You could also just copy over dpkg-shlibdeps, but that would result in it
getting wiped out if dpkg is ever upgraded (possibly to a version lower than
1.7.1.1).
But first, see below for a better workaround.

I have not been able to get it to work. ldd simply will not run at all on the
shared object unless all of its runtime dependencies are satisfied. In this
case, that means that librrd0 must already be installed on the system. In
fact, that is a suitable workaround for this problem. First install librrd0
1.0.7-5 from potato, then you will be able to build the rrdtool package without
problems.
