Some examples are in Developers' Reference. And there is dh_shlibdeps part of debhelper which is aimed at the same problem and in addition it will fill your control file with correct names and versions of needed packages. So although your script makes thing quite good, I still recommend you to use existing tools, and if you don't like them, fix them ;) [...] > I'll try to find a sponsor as soon as I have my first package ready. Are you working on some program already? I hope you filled ITP bugreport about that. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
