Why is the shlibs.local file needed at all? If the symbols files are updated properly, that should be sufficient to generate correct dependencies. I already talked to Scott and LaMont briefly about this. Imho the symbols files should not be updated/generated automatically, but manually, so you can actually track ABI breakages much more easily. Also, the debian revision should be stripped away (unless a symbol was added by a Debian revision specific patch), to make e.g. backports easier.
