I discussed this issue with Martin Sjögren, and he stated that udpkg
just does not parse the version information. So it will do no harm if
they are present.
Naming library udebs libfooN-udeb (with N = noname number) and
providing the original name of the corresponding deb packe in the
Provides field should enable all packagers to use the dh_shlibdeps
determine their dependancies. If I miss something please provide me
with further information.
The alternative would be to declare dependancies manually.
