I have been getting this error on my package for a long time:

E: planner binary: duplicate-entry-in-shlibs-control-file libmrp

The tree view shows:
/usr/lib/planner/
|-- file-modules
|   |-- libmrp-xml.so
|   `-- libmrp-xsl.so
|-- libgantt-task.so
|-- plugins

    |-- libresource-view.so
    |-- libtask-view.so
    `-- libtimetable-view.so

Based on this, I'm wondering if the error might actually be 
caused by Lintian's inability to process SO libraries with a 
dash in the filename and a similar first half in the filename?

As discussed in the bug log, the shlibs file really is invalid, so
lintian's behavior here is correct.  I'm not sure if dh_makeshlibs is
doing the right thing or not in this case; it is intentionally parsing
SONAMEs in that way, and there's a comment in the source that seems to
indicate this is done because of an annoying SONAME syntax used in some
packages.

I'll leave it to you whether you want to just exclude these files from
dh_makeshlibs or open another bug against debhelper to see if its matching
logic can be improved.
