Hi
Thanks for your interest in Debian, you are welcome :)
I think your program is arch-dependent, for example written in C++ (as most of
the KDE packages).
Then in your debian/control you have for example this line:
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
During the build with the right debhelper tools (please also read the good
manual page of every debhelper tools they are good documented)
${shlibs:Depends} will become the right shared library dependencies against
your program is linked.
In this case the debhelper tool dh_shlibdeps in your debian/rules will do the
job for you.
But there are also other tools which you have to use by other packages,
sometimes it is also useful to see how other maintainers did the job and
learning from them.
Anyway checking if your dependencies are correct by installing it somewhere
and making enough tests is always a good idea ;)
