Don't you mean dh_makeshlibs? I'm already doing this. I changed
debian/rules to not run dh_shlibdeps on the -dev package, but it didn't
fix it. Also, I made a mistake in my previous report - the
pkg-without-shlibs-has-shlibs-control-file error occurs in both the
wxgtk2.1 and wxgtk2.1-dev packages. The main packages has a .so file;
-dev just has symlinks to them.

Yes; I'm doing wxgtk2.1, wxgtk2.1-dev, and python-wxwin.
