Thanks, Andrey, for the input. I've dug around a little more now and found that the reason for the error was the fact that the library that couldn't be found was indeed built, but was not part of a package. That's what dpkg-shlibdeps was complaining about.

Nothing there installs anything. dpkg-shlibdeps processes ELFs to be included in the packages and tries to find their dependencies and convert them to package-level Depends. -- WBR, wRAR
