Uh. The rules file indeed uses

        dh_makeshlibs -plibgail18 \
                -X$(MODULES_BASE_PATH) \
                -V"libgail18 (>= $(SHVER)), libgail-common (>= $(SHVER))" \
                -- -c4

My addition of --add-udeb=libgail18-udeb replaces libgail18 by
libgail18-udeb on the udeb line, but I don't see any way to make
dh_makeshlibs either drop the libgail-common dependency or replace it
with libgaim-common-udeb... Debhelper maintainers, any idea?
In the meanwhile, we can use a horrible sed hack :/
