Yes, indeed, this would be the problem.

I would do this. If the library is not a public API that should be used
by other projects, then having out it ouf /usr/lib is probably the right
decision (particularly if that's what upstream does by default). So just
telling dh_makeshlibs to ignore it is the correct path forward.
Note that this only works if the only binaries linked with that shared
library are built from the same source package. If you have to link with
that shared library across source packages, you may want to consider a
different approach.
