Re: dh_shlibdeps question

[Lawrence Williams <lawrence_cecil_williams@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I will explain fully why I am wondering about this: I am fixing the SDL 
packages in Debian. Upstream seems to have changed something ( not sure 
what ), in either SDL or ALSA, that breaks compatibility. Rebuilting SDL 
against the latest ALSA in Debian ( 1.0.7-3 ) fixes the problem.

However, the depends info generated by dh_shlibdeps is 'libasound2 (>> 
1.0.5)', which will cause problems for users who are not using the 
latest version.

Could I put this in my shlibs.local file, just to be safe:

libasound 2 libasound2 (>= 1.0.7-3)
