I'm not quite sure what is going wrong but all I did was linking
an application against libgtkdatabox and made a debian package of
it. When I try to install it, I get

ibook:/usr/share/doc/linux-wlan-ng# LC_ALL=C dpkg -i
~steinm/sourceforge/gpmudmon/gpmudmon-applet_0.4.0-1_powerpc.deb
(Reading database ... 188082 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gpmudmon-applet:
gpmudmon-applet depends on libgtkdatabox-0.7.0.0-0 (>= 0.7.0.0);
however:
 Package libgtkdatabox-0.7.0.0-0 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing gpmudmon-applet (--install):

Well,dpkg is right, but where is that dependency coming from?
I guess there is something wrong in libgtkdatabox-0.7.0-0.shlibs

In how far is it astonishing that a package that contains binaries
that are linked against a library in another package ask for installing
the library package that contains the library it is linked against.?

Sorry I absolutely do not understand your problem.  What happens if you
just install libgtkdatabox-0.7.0.0-0?  What says 'ldd <your binary>'?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
