Bug#357367: lintian: Complains about new shlibs for udebs

[Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.15
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

In my last upload of openssl, I've added support for use shlibs
for udebs.  See and #345475 (and #345472).

As a result, I know get the following warning from lintian when I
run it on libssl0.9.8_0.9.8a-8:
E: libssl0.9.8: duplicate-entry-in-shlibs-control-file udeb:
W: libssl0.9.8: unused-shlib-entry-in-control-file udeb:

The shlib files currently looks like:
libssl 0.9.8 libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8a-1)
libcrypto 0.9.8 libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8a-1)
udeb: libssl 0.9.8 libcrypto0.9.8-udeb (>= 0.9.8a-1)
udeb: libcrypto 0.9.8 libcrypto0.9.8-udeb (>= 0.9.8a-1)

It doesn't understand that "udeb: " is an extetion yet for udebs,
and things now that that is the name of a library.

Could lintian please add support for this?

Note that the 3rd line actually is wrong, there is no libssl in
the libcrypto0.9.8-udeb, a warning about that wouldn't hurt, but
it's probably something that lintian can't check at all now.
