Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20120608
Severity: normal
Hi,
While reviewing a package, I noticed the following sequence of
debhelper programs:
"""
dh_makeshlibs
dh_installdeb
dh_shlibdeps -V "libircclient (>= 1.2)"
"""
As far as I can tell dh_shlibdeps does not use -V (its manpage does
not mention it at all) and it was probably intended for dh_makeshlibs.
I think it would be prudent if dh_shlibdeps issued an error for this,
because it can cause reverse dependencies to be rebuilt with the wrong
dependencies.
If this is actually a valid option to dh_shlibdeps, then it is not
documented in its manpage.
