With the current scheme it is: ldd /usr/lib/libwhatever.so to track down its shared library dependency, strip the soversion and appending "-dev" to individual package to create the list of requisite -dev packages. And, by the way, that list is just plain wrong. Say you have: libfoobar1 depends (only on) libfoo1, libfoo1 depends libbar1. YOU would get: libfoo1: Depends: libbar1-dev libfoobar1-dev Depends: libfoo1-dev, libbar1-dev. Now libbar2 is uploaded and libfoo1 recompiled with libbar2: libfoobar1 depends libfoo1, libfoo1 depends libbar2. libfoo1: Depends: libbar2-dev libfoobar1-dev is now uninstallable for no good reason at all.
