Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.27
Severity: wishlist
In the case of single package, the following entry in debian/control in
unnecessary:
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
==================
If possible, lintian could warn about unneeded entry.
I've used following makefile target to check these mistakes. Perhpas
it can give ideas how to implement something similar to lintian.
lintian-control:
# Check control file errors
@file=debian/control; \
if grep --with-filename "shlibs:Depends" $$file; then \
list=$$(find . -name "*.la" -o -name "*.a" > /dev/null); \
if [ ! "$$list" ]; then \
echo "[ERROR] No libraries found in package"; \
fi; \

Closing because I'm fairly sure the original report misunderstood the
purpose of ${shlibs:Depends}. Please re-open and clarify if I
misunderstood the report.
