You don't need libtinyxml2.5.3, libpcre3 explicitly listed in Depends in that
case, as they could be automatically calculated. You already have
${shlibs:Depends} in there, and dh_shlibdeps calls dpkg-shlibdeps, which does
the right thing calculating the shared library dependencies.
Please see, debian policy 8.6.2 and C.1.4.
If you were trying to "fix" a hypothetical problem with dependency list that
way (though I see none), that might not be the right treatment to rectify the
cause. Listing these depends explicitly is not incredibly wrong, but might
leave a wrong impression, that something with the automatic dependency
calculation (of an dynamic executable ELF like cppcheck is, unlike say, a
shell or whatever script where ldd could not be of any help) has went wrong,
while it has not.
