Ah, I just remembered the reason for this:
% objdump -p /usr/lib/libnspr4.so | grep SONAME
SONAME libnspr4.so
The SONAME is non-standard (it's due to Netscape internal programs using
this screwed up name, their employee once told me it can't be changed), and
there's no way to represent no version to dpkg-shlibdeps, because you can't
say:
libnspr4 <nothing> libnspr4
in a shlibs file. Maybe we should ask Wichert to make dpkg-shlibdeps
recognize a magic string, say, "NULL", to handle this situation.

Sorry, I was wrong.

Exposed by mozilla (and related stuff) only? I presume it means you can't
install galeon without having fakeroot installed already... yucks.
