dh_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that is responsible for calculating
shared library dependancies for packages.
This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-shlibdeps(1) that calls it
once for each package listed in the control file, passing it
a list of ELF executables and shared libraries it has found.
Exclude files that contain ``item'' anywhere in their filename from being
passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. This will make their dependancies be ignored.
This may be useful in some situations, but use it with caution. This option
may be used more than once to exclude more than one thing.
-ldirectory[:directory:directory:..]
Before dpkg-shlibdeps is run, LD_LIBRARY_PATH will have added to it the
specified directory (or directories - separate with colons). This is
useful for multi-binary packages where a library is built in one
package and another package contains binaries linked against said
library. Relative paths will be made absolute for the benefit of
dpkg-shlibdeps.
