No, I've found out now (Use the source, conveniently dpkg-shlibdeps is a
Perl script): I was the DEBIAN directory in the package directory which
was missing, and which made dpkg-shlibdeps _think_ that it wasn't a
package directory.
Simply calling dh_installdeb before dh_shlibdeps fixed it; it wasn't me
who wrote that debian/rules and I have no idea whether it used to work.
