Public bug reported:
the perl script dpkg-shlibdeps depends on /usr/bin/file for correct
execution but the package dpkg-dev providing dpkg-shlibdeps does not
depend on the package "file" providing /usr/bin/file
EFFECT
when building packages in a minimal system (e.g. a chroot) the generated
dependencies are missing
WORK-AROUND
"apt install file"

make dpkg-dev depend on file
