That's what the catchily named
symbols-declares-dependency-on-other-package is intended to catch.
Indeed, if I modify shared-libs-symbols-file's symbols file so that
instead of "libfoo.so.1 libfoo1 #MINVER#" it reads "libfoo.so.1 libfoo
#MINVER#", I get an extra "W: libfoo1:
symbols-declares-dependency-on-other-package libfoo #MINVER#".

I don't have an i386 chroot or machine easily to hand where I can test,
but I'm guessing that the above was from the shared-libs-non-pic-i386
test?
