Hello,

dh_shlibdeps doesn't have an option to exclude certain packages from the 
dependency list it generates with ${shlibs:Depends}. This is a quite 
different feature from the current -X option, if I've read it correctly.

One example of where this would be useful is kopete, which currently 
depends on xmms, libgtk, etc. because it is compiled with "Now Playing 
with XMMS" support. Yet Kopete will still function without the presence 
of XMMS, and it would be great if xmms, gtk, etc. could be manually 
excluded from the dependency list (so they could be added as Recommends 
or Suggests instead - it might also be handy if dh_shlibdeps could print 
to the console the version information of the dependencies it otherwise 
would have added, so the maintainer can ensure that their manually added 
Suggests or whatever are correct).

Thanks,
Christopher Martin

 ...

      - dpkg-shlibdeps now supports '-x<package>' options that can be used to
       exclude packages from generated dependencies (use with care though).
       Closes: #41907, #109954
