However, please note that this should only be required for versioned
build-dependencies, like "Build-Depends: libc6 (>=3D 2.2)".

If the build-dependency is not versioned, nothing is required, since
libc6-dev, libc1-dev, etc. are build-essential.

And in this case dpkg-shlibdeps (or its debhelper frontend) should
already take care of that.
