Are you sure that these binaries are already installed in debian/<pkg>/ and
that dpkg-shlibdeps gets called after that, i.e. not before they are in place.
See Raphaël's comments on #518687.

it means that dpkg-shlibdeps will print the above warning when analyzes
binaries outside of package's directory. Perhaps having to look for binaries
in debian/<pkg>/ is more robust and well-defined than having to look for them
outside package directories. I'm guessing here.
