Bug#31143: dpkg-dev: dpkg-shlibdeps could be smarter
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.31
Currently dpkg-shlibdeps adds all libraries that a program uses to the
dependency list. It would be nice if this could be restricted to the
libraries the program is actually linked with and not list the libraries
that are imported by other libraries.
An example: right now every program that is linked with libpam0g gets
dependencies on cracklib2 and libpwdb0g.
Wichert.
