I could maintain such a list for checklib, that wouldn't be problematic. Doing such a thing for debhelper sounds evil though, I surely don't want to be responsible if packages fail to build (or run correctly) because a library was removed that shouldn't have been. Maintaining such information somewhere within the library package would be possible, but that sounds like a more complex plan, and I doubt that many library maintainers know if their lib uses such tricks or not.
