Is Lukas Nussbaum still doing archive wide rebuilds? Maybe you could
give him a patched debhelper and let him rebuild all of debian and then
the resulting Depends could be compared.
Short of that how about an option --no-shlibs or --only-symbols that one
can use to get the alternate behaviour for packages where shlibs does
not work? I have tested it with ONE package where I create the symbols
files with just the sonames manually now. So I know it works in this
case. Doesn't have to be default.
