Actually dpkg-shlibdeps will use the shlibs file of the installed version
of libpspell2, not the one you're building. This is even worse :)
In the past I have solved this problem by invoking dpkg-shlibdeps
with a LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting that makes it find the libaries in
the build tree. This way you get a warning that it couldn't find
what package provides them, but you don't get a bogus dependency.
I haven't found a cleaner solution.
