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
