Hmmm, I can not parse this as a specific question to me - just ask if I
can help somehow. Regarding packaging shared libraries I personally
recommend using d-shlibs. There are some examples in our repositories
for instance bambamc, bamtools or snp-sites (just a random pick from my
poor mind with no specific order or preference)

Fine.

See my latest push. :-)
On the other hand when I'm using the latest lintian (from unstable) I get
some more things as info, which might be worth fixing
I: kmer-tools source: duplicate-short-description meryl libmeryl-dev
I: kmer-tools source: quilt-patch-missing-description kazlib.patch
I: kmer-tools source: quilt-patch-missing-description remove-kazlib.patch
You might like to override
I: kmer-tools source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
with a comment to express the fact that there is no chance to write such
a file.
I decide from time to time whether I fix things like
I: meryl: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/existDB endianess endianness
If there is a responsive upstream I send a patch.
For things like
I: meryl: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/bin/existDB
I never found a solution myself and consider this false positives. Feel
free to leave these untouched.

Please add the DEP3 headers to the patches since this is helpful for
other team members. All other lintian infos are free to your decision.

Thanks for your work on this
Andreas.
