If this is for your own packages then sure, my comment above was for
normal Debian packages, as there's no easy way to pass global arguments
to the dpkg commands inside say debian/rules.

Thanks, I had fixed it differently though, with the attached patch.
Which will be pushing quickly to master.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] dpkg-shlibdeps: Use dpkg-query instead of dpkg for --search

This has the effect of honoring the admindir passed as an environment
variable, as dpkg sets the variable unconditionally, but dpkg-query
does honor it.

Closes: #775258
