} No, I think what the message indicates, is that it is looking for the
} dependency information (I suspect in the default file for shlibdeps) and
} can't find what it needs. I believe that the default file only has libc5,
} ncurses and some xlib things. You will need to add the desired dependency
} information to /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default if I am not mistaken.

Is this what we should do or should we use debian/shlibs.local? Also,
if I put an shlibs in one of my packages (libpaper), then install the
package, and do dpkg-shlibs on a package depending on libpaper, the
libpaper dependency is not found. But the programmer manual says this
is how dpkg-shlibs should work, by using the defaults and informations
got from the shlibs file in installed package. Maybe there's a problem
actually? In the meantime, I use shlibs.local...
