In ideal world, there should be no dpkg-shlibdeps and dpkg-buildpackage in
dpkg-cross, instead the cross-compilation support should be included in
'standard' dpkg-shlibdeps and dpkg-buildpackage :).
To avoid build failures, I will add code that duplicates undocumented
behaviour.
However, I still think that this behaviour should either be removed, or
documented.
Currently both dpkg-shlibdeps and dh_shlibdeps documentation is very clear
on how to handle local shlibs properly. However, packages don't follow
those simple rules.
After all, 'it works' and 'it is done properly' is not the same ...
