This doesn't make sense. ${shlibs:Depends} is required for any package
that contains a compiled library. It doesn't have to do with whether the
package itself contains a library. (Not to mention that you're searching
for files only included in a dev package, which is something else
entirely.)
I think there's some fundamental misunderstanding here.
