Re: Monitoring debian/shlibs.local files?

this is totally done on purpose to avoid circular dependencies, see bug
#454267.

moreover we are considering introducing an shlibs.local file for ffmpeg
for tightening internal dependencies in the generated binary package
from the source.

both packages have the same motivation: Make dpkg-shlibdeps behave
differently for generated binary packages compared to packages linking
against the library. I acknowledge that this is rather rare and should
be used in general, but for these two cases, I find shlibs.local a
totally reasonable approach.
