After discussing it with Josselin on IRC, I've taken the liberty of preparing an NMU and uploading that to the 2-day delayed queue. If you disagree with this upload then please let me know.
Reason for the upload is that we need this patch (the shlibs udeb support) to be able to integrate the graphical installer into the main build infrastructure for Debian Installer. The full patch for the NMU, including the changelog entry, is attached. Cheers, Frans Pop
