shlibs-declares-dependency-on-other-package is for binary packages and
debian/shlibs.local (vs DEBIAN/shlibs.local) sounds like it is a file in
the source package.

That said, is there any valid use case for debian/shlibs.local instead
of using debian/[$pkg.]shlibs besides overriding "foreign" packages?
