building Debian source packages

["Noah L. Meyerhans" <frodo@ccs.neu.edu>]

I have installed a version of OSF/Motif 1.2.4 on my slink system.  I have
debianized motif so it conflicts with lesstif.  I would like to install
some Debian packages like ddd, plan, xscreensaver, etc.  I can build these
packages from the Debianized source.  The question I have involves the
dependecies of these packages.  Once I've built a .deb of something like
plan, even though the binary is linked against my Motif, the dependency is
still on lesstif and I can't install it.  What do I need to modify to get
the dependencies right?  How does the ${shlibs:Depends} keyword work in
debian/control in the Debianized source tree?

Thanks in advance.
