At the expense of wasting time running file on everything to determine
which are binaries, which has been marked "TODO:slow" in the source
forever.
And then, file is probably not the best test, the best test would be an
identical one to that used by dpkg-shlibdeps. There have been some bugs
because of this; not all of them are even fixed. #133092 is the best
one.
And too, the more effort that needs to be spent to make dh_shlibdeps be
able to drive dpkg-shlibdeps, the harder it is for anyone to make a
credible alternative to it. Oh, oops, I'm supposed to consider that an
advantage, right? :-P
