Dropping a link reference



Hi,


I'm packaging a non-free software (better not ask, it's a pain :-( ). The 
question is that there are some executables that has a link to an old version 
of libraw1394-8. 

The funny thing is that I have tested to create a fictitious  libraw1394.so.8 
library making a symbolic link to the current  libraw1394.so.11 and it works. 
When I created the package,  dpkg-shlibdeps shows some messages with  
shouldn't be linked with libXXX.so.X (it uses none of its symbols). And one of 
them is libraw1394.so.8.

So, as I have _only_ the binary, there's some way to drop a dependency of a 
library  produced by the linker knowing that not use any of its symbols?

Best regards,

Leopold
