Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.56
Severity: wishlist
I send this feature request right now so that I don't forget, but you
won't be able to implement it until dpkg 1.14.8 is uploaded in unstable
(in a few weeks, see upcoming mail to debian-devel-announce).
The dpkg-shlibdeps in dpkg 1.14.8 will have a new option "-x<package>" to
strip out some packages from the generated dependencies. dpkg-shlibdeps
has no knowledge of "packages", it works on build tree and generates a
substvars file... thus it can't make the decision to strip a package from a
dependency, however dh_shlibdeps does.
So it would make sense for dh_shlibdeps to automatically add -x<package>
when calling dpkg-shlibdeps. This will at the same time resolve
#251783 (they can pass additionnal -x<package> after "--" on the
dh_shlibdeps command line).

According to my tests, 1.14.8 does automatically remove self-deps.
