That's not smart, because the new binary packages will have to pass the
NEW queue again. Having two subsequent uploads pass the NEW queue is not
a wise use of time.

dh_makeshlibs and ${shlibs:Depends} in control take care of that. If you
use to the tooling for its intended purpose you don't need to set manual
dependencies on shared libraries.

I am not clear about this. If libotbX depends on libotbY, libotbZ then I need to mention them precisely in the control file. This is the case of otb-bin and otb-bin-qt now.

Does shlibs:Depends takes care of the correct dependencies and not more. I mean only those required by libotbX.

Address all remaining serious lintian issues.

I don't have other serious lintian issues. There is one that says package name does not correspond to the shared libs .....
