Everybody has stuff to learn but your mail made it clear that you had a
lot to learn yet about libraries and automatic dependencies:
- it's not ${misc:Depends} but ${shlibs:Depends}
- those are generated by dpkg-shlipdeps and its manual pages should give
you enough information to understand how they are generated
- automatic dependencies are handled by the libraries that provide them
and it's not a good idea to try to override them
The packaging manual is an entry point, it doesn't contain all the infos
that one should know.
