I believe you're mistaken. The "dpkg-shlibdeps" in the first line is a
hyperlink to section C.1.4, which describes dpkg-shlibdeps.
Use of debhelper is not required in order to build packages, and
documentation of such use does not belong in the policy manual.
Similarly:
adam@starbug:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps
dpkg-dev: /usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps
c.f. dpkg-shlibdeps(1) / dpkg-source(1).
