[Build-common-hackers] Bug#364436: dh_makeshlibs calls produce lintian warnings

[Julien Louis]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.39
Severity: minor

Hi,

I'm switching one of my package to cdbs and after the build process one
package has this lintian warning :
W: weechat-plugins: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
N:
N:   The postinst script calls ldconfig even though no shared libraries
are
N:   installed in a directory controlled by the dynamic library loader.
N:
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 8.1.1 for details.

are
N:   installed in a directory controlled by the dynamic library loader.
N:
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 8.1.1 for details.

The package ships shared libs to be used only by this program so,
dh_makeshlibs should either not call dh_makeshlibs or call dh_makeshlibs
with -n arguments.

I've found that some gnome2 packages are also affected by this bug on
lintian.debian.org (e.g. nautilus-actions).

my package is available at : http://ptitlouis.sysif.net/debian/weechat/

best regards
