Thanks to both of you for quickly handling this!

This sonames2elf stuff is only used to calculate dependencies on
dlopen'ed libraries.  For this we grep the sonames from config.h, create
an ELF that depends on all of them, and then use dpkg-shlibdeps against it.

It's an workaround until this feature is implemented directly in
dpkg-shlibdeps (#596715, dpkg-shlibdeps: Please allow to manually add
library dependencies via shlibdeps).
