From DH_SHLIBDEPS(1) - v4.1.28

       -Lpackage, --libpackage=package

	Use the shlibs file automatically generated by dh_makeshlibs
	for the named package as a kind of automatically generated
	shlibs.local file. You can us this switch in concert with the
	-l switch to make dpkg-shlibdeps find a library built as part
	of the current package, and get the shlibs information.  See
	example below.

EXAMPLES

Suppose that your source package produces libfoo1, libfoo-dev, and
libfoo-bin binary packages. lib-foo-bin links against libfoo1, and
should depend on it. In your rules file, first run dh_makeshlibs, then
dh_shlibdeps:

               dh_makeshlibs
               dh_shlibdeps -L libfoo1 -l debian/libfoo1/usr/lib

This will have the effect of generating automatically a shlibs file
for libfoo1, and using that file and the libfoo1 library in the
debian/libfoo1/usr/lib directory to calculate shared library
dependency information.

Yours sincerely,
