In the past I needed other changes to configure.in, so it was the best way. I no longer need them, so I've moved the patch to debian/rules (as you suggested), which works well. > Try: > > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=debian/tmp/usr/lib dh_shlibdeps -V > > The LD_LIBRARY_PATH prevents ldd from linking to a library that > is installed on the system, so dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find the > associated package (so there is no dependency created). Interesting solution. I decided to split the packages instead (Santiago reminds me that policy requires it presently.) This created some other problems of a similar nature but I have since sorted those out.
