At the expense of wasting time running file on everything to determine which are binaries, which has been marked "TODO:slow" in the source forever. And then, file is probably not the best test, the best test would be an identical one to that used by dpkg-shlibdeps. There have been some bugs because of this; not all of them are even fixed. #133092 is the best one. And too, the more effort that needs to be spent to make dh_shlibdeps be able to drive dpkg-shlibdeps, the harder it is for anyone to make a credible alternative to it. Oh, oops, I'm supposed to consider that an advantage, right? :-P -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
