A lot of these seem to be -dbg packages and I've got a few issues with
that. Even if I add ${shlibs:Depends} for the -dbg package and run
dh_makeshlibs and dh_shlibdeps, I get this warning with dh_gencontrol
for the -dpkg package:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:qof-0.7.4$ fakeroot dh_makeshlibs -plibqof1-dbg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:qof-0.7.4$ less debian/libqof1-dbg/DEBIAN/shlibs
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:qof-0.7.4$ fakeroot dh_shlibdeps -plibqof1-dbg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:qof-0.7.4$ less debian/libqof1-dbg/DEBIAN/shlibs
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:qof-0.7.4$ fakeroot dh_gencontrol -plibqof1-dbg
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable
${shlibs:Depends}
The -dbg package depends on the stripped version of the same library
(which does depend on libc6) so I don't see that I can actually comply
without adding the depends artificially.

For -dbg packages, I already do this - with no effect.

There are some -dev packages in here too - not sure if those are
correct.
As far as the backend modules for QOF, these are being made into
private libraries in the upcoming libqof2 transition so I won't be
doing anything with those in the final 0.7.4 libqof1 release.
