.deb library generation issue

[Zvi Dubitzky <DUBI@il.ibm.com>]

Hi,

I am building a .deb package for a  library from source tar to .deb  ( 2 
packages)
I was able to specify the right Build-depends section of the 
debian/control file and  build ( sudo pbuilder build ../*.dsc) the .deb to 
completion (I got : libvirt_0.6.1-1_i386.deb and 
libvirt-dev_0.6.1-1_i386.deb).

But i see at the end of the build output  the following message (bold) :
......
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
dh_installchangelogs ChangeLog
dh_installdocs
dh_installexamples
dh_installman
dh_link
dh_strip
dh_compress
dh_fixperms

dh_shlibdeps
dh_gencontrol

Copying back the cached apt archive contents
 -> unmounting dev/pts filesystem
 -> unmounting proc filesystem
 -> cleaning the build env
    -> removing directory /var/cache/pbuilder/build//7247 and its 
subdirectories
......

Notice the bold warning . why the build process does not recognize the 
Depends section in the control file ?
While I was generating a .deb for a binary package (not a library) the 
first warning (${shlibs:Depends})  did not show up.
At the end see  the  debian/control file  (generated by dh_make -e ) and 
the .dsc file (that was generated by : debuild -S -us -uc)  I am using:

When i copied the 2 .deb files to another Ubuntu system and tried to 
apt-get install them the libvirt-dev was installed ok but the 
libvirt_0.6.1-1_i386.deb   installation returned the following message :

dubi@lnx-phenix2:~/reservoir$ sudo apt-get install libvirt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libvirt is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libvirt has no installation candidate


Any idea what is wrong ?


BTW: in the process of  building the libvirt-dev package where is the *.h 
files copied in the build  environment  before being packed into the .deb 
file . I see no debian/tmp  file in the build system
