[debhelper-devel] Bug#776103: debhelper: dh_shlibdeps doesn't support multiple -L options

[Tristan Schmelcher]

Sorry for the lack of line breaks. Here is the same text with line breaks added:

dpkg-shlibdeps supports multiple -S options, which dh_shlibdeps wraps as -L. But
dh_shlibdeps does not support multiple -L options. The last one is the only one
that has an effect. This means that a source package that ships private shared
libraries in multiple binary packages and ships other packages that depend on
them cannot use -L to inform dh_shlibdeps where to find them. The package
instead has to use -l, which defeats some of the smarts in dpkg-shlibdeps.
