You have dh_makeshlibs commented out in your debian/rules file. You have
to run dh_makeshlibs when building shared libraries. Otherwise, you don't
get a shlibs file, which means that the shared library package won't work
right and dh_shlibdeps can't find it when setting shared library
dependencies.
