When building this dsc

I get at the end of the build:
dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: couldn't find library liblicense.so.1 needed by
debian/liblicense-cli/usr/bin/license (its RPATH is '').
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have
any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit
status 2
Naturally, I'm probably doing something wrong - but I have no idea what
it is. I think that the soname and library package name are correct,
for one thing. Can someone perhaps help?
You have dh_makeshlibs commented out in your debian/rules file. You have
to run dh_makeshlibs when building shared libraries. Otherwise, you don't
get a shlibs file, which means that the shared library package won't work
right and dh_shlibdeps can't find it when setting shared library
dependencies.
Thanks - that fixed that problem!
Would it make sense for me to report a bug (and maybe a patch) to the
message printed by dpkg-shlibdeps to point out this possible mistake
(since it already points out the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH)?
