There are other packages that excludes dependencies from dh_shlibdeps:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+dh_shlibdeps.*-x
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+dh_shlibdeps.*--exclude
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARG.*--exclude&perpkg=1

I don't think Debian Policy forbids my proposal.

Could you explain how my proposal would break anything?

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
