proper way to generate shlibs.local?

[Magosányi Árpád "(mag)" <mag@debian.org>]

Hi!

There are several binary packages are created out of the zorp source.
Some of them depends on libzorp2, generated from there as well.
Because of that I need a shlibs.local file to tell dh_slibdeps
about the versioned dependency. I am creating it from the
shlibs file created dh_makeshlibs, thus:

        dh_makeshlibs -n
        dh_makeshlibs -plibzorp2 -V
        dh_installdeb -a
        find debian/ -name shlibs |xargs cat >debian/shlibs.local
        dh_shlibdeps -a -l`pwd`/debian/libzorp2/usr/lib

Questions:
1. do I need the shlibs.local file, is not, what to do?
2. is the above the Right Way, or is there a More Right Way?

Thank you for your advice.
