Aha! That's exactly the help I needed.

The rules file had DH_COMPAT set to 2, but I was installing the files into
debian/tmp rather than debian/pygame.  Some rogue code copied from
DH_COMPAT=1 days.

So at the command line with DH_COMPAT defaulting to 1, dh_shlibdeps looked
in debian/tmp and found the files.  In the rules makefile with DH_COMPAT=2
it looked in debian/pygame, found nothing, so made no dependencies
substvar.

Thanks!
