Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.27
Severity: wishlist


In the case of single package, the following entry in debian/control in 
unnecessary:

  Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
	   ==================

If possible, lintian could warn about unneeded entry. 

I've used following makefile target to check these mistakes. Perhpas
it can give ideas how to implement something similar to lintian.

lintian-control:
	# Check control file errors
	@file=debian/control; \
	if grep --with-filename "shlibs:Depends" $$file; then \
	  list=$$(find . -name "*.la" -o -name "*.a" > /dev/null); \
	  if [ ! "$$list" ]; then \
	    echo "[ERROR] No libraries found in package"; \
	  fi; \
	fi

Closing because I'm fairly sure the original report misunderstood the
purpose of ${shlibs:Depends}.  Please re-open and clarify if I
misunderstood the report.
