I'm having some trouble with lintian. I'm building two packages,
gtkada0 and gtkada0-dev, the former containing only the shared library 
and the latter the static one and the headers.

lintian reports:

<sam@zaphod>lintian -i ../*.deb                                  10/13/98 21:26
E: gtkada0: pkg-without-shlibs-has-shlibs-control-file
N:
N:   Though the package does not include any shared libraries, it does have
N:   a shlibs control file.
N:

Although I have:

<sam@zaphod>dpkg -c ../gtkada0_0.1a-1_i386.deb                   10/13/98 21:27

- -rw-r--r-- root/root       211 1998-10-13 18:18 usr/doc/gtkada0/changelog.Debian.gz

(yes, I know, the *.so link should not be there, but I tried to add it 
in this package to see if it would correct the error)

What does lintian use to check whether a package contains a shared
library or not? It looks obvious to me that it does:

<sam@zaphod>file debian/gtkada0/usr/lib/libgtkada.so.0.1         10/13/98 21:31
