Package: lintian
Version: 1.20.16
Severity: wishlist

Basically, I'd like to see something like this:

if (anything in /bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin) {
  if (dpkg-shlibdeps used in debian/rules) {
    if dpkg-shlibdeps not prepended with LD_LIBRARY_PATH {
      throw warning about possible wrong usage of dpkg-shlibdeps
    }
  }
  if (dh_shlibdeps used in debian/rules) {
    if dh_shlibdeps used without -l argument {
      throw warning about possible wrong usage of dh_shlibdeps
    }
  }
}

Say I have a (source) package that contains both a library and one or
more binaries that depends on this library.  For the shlibdeps to
generated properly I have to point the packaging system at the directory
where my just-built library is living so it can be taken into account in
the dependencies of the binary.

E.g.

dh_shlibdeps -ldebian/libfoo/usr/lib

It looks like improvements in dpkg-shlibdeps have now made this request
unnecessary.  dpkg-shlibdeps now looks in debian/*/DEBIAN for shlibs files
and normally doesn't require LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the -l option to
dh_shlibdeps.  The changelog in dpkg is not entirely clear, but I think
this went in as part of the large reworking of dpkg-shlibdeps in 1.14.8.
