This option wasneeded when package builds a binary that uses libraries 
built from the same source package. In this case, libraries may not be 
available outside of package build directory; so ldd called from 
dpkg-shlibdeps won't find them witout LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Don't yet know how this situation is handled in your patched 
dpkg-shlibdeps...
