Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.16.0.3 Severity: normal My application [1] depends on gtk+-2.0 and -pthread seems to be brought in by this: $ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/gio-unix-2.0/ -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12
This seems to make dpkg-shlibdeps throw a warning [2], which I'd consider to be invalid.
