At my company we routinely build new versions of packages that are
already installed on the same machine. We have a library that is
LD_PRELOAD'd so that if any program tries to read the file installed in
/opt instead of the file in the staging directory, the program aborts.

dh_perl was following symlinks to executable files and reading them to
see if they contained a perl shebang, and that caused it to abort.

So I do not have an example package where the dependencies are listed
differently because of dh_perl following symlinks.

Is there any other information I can provide you?
