Ah. missed the compat level because I changed the it to version 10 in the
debian/control file. Next upload will have debian/compat of 10, and
debian/control has "Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 10.0.0), binutils (>=
2.28.0), autotools-dev (>= 20161112.1)"

So now to talk about the dpkg-shlibdeps warnings. The Debian package
installs the binaries (libmux.so and others)
under usr/lib/tinymux/game/bin, and then for a specific game, one runs
tinymux-install script to install a symbolic link into the current
directory. The install scripts creates a minimal game tree from which to
start a game. So, the server itself never runs directly from the
/usr/lib/tinymux/game/bin directory. That's why it works despite these
warnings.

But, I agree that suppressing or fixing these warning is a good thing
except that nothing I Google and no man pages I read describe how to
actually go about doing this. dh_makeshlibs does run but it isn't picking
up the location where libmux.so is placed. The man page for dh_shlibdeps
describes this exact scenario and suggests to run dh_makeshlibs first as
the obvious solution, but that is already happening and it doesn't work.
Solutions point to using override_dh_shlibdeps, but then, I need to pass it
all the right arguments and I think the problem is really dh_makeshlibs.
Nothing I've found describes how dh_makeshlibs does its job or how to
control it. Sorry, but I'm always at a loss for how to control these builds.
