AFAIU, there's always at least 1 package of shared binaries: libc6.

For example:

[eric@mrmimePOTATO:~/ucd-snmp-4.1.1]$ less debian/control

[...]

Package: snmp
Section: net
Priority: extra
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: UCD SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Apps.
 The UCD SNMP applications allow querying the UCD and other SNMP
 agents.


Then,

[eric@mrmimePOTATO:~/ucd-snmp-4.1.1]$ less debian/snmp/DEBIAN/control
Package: snmp
Version: 4.1.1-2
Section: net
Priority: extra
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libsnmp4.1

[...]

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
