You can get rid of this warning by using
dh_shlibdeps -l`pwd`/debian/libepplet0/usr/lib
for then the directory name will be absolute (and dpkg-shlibdeps
expects this).
You will, however, replace the warnings with other warnings about
being unable to locate the package containing
/usr/local/.../debian/libepplet0/usr/lib/libepplet.so.0.
Can't win!
