Not really, it was certainly a bug that earlier dh_makeshlibs versions
did not complain here. Using --add-udeb when the udeb does not actually
contain a shared library is IMO a serious bug. It is currently possible
to build a udeb with a program that links to libkmod.so.2 and have its
dependencies fulfilled, but such a program will fail at runtime in the
installer because the library is not there.
