Actually they are warning, the package is built just fine:
-- Figuring out dependencies of ELF objects
utmp entry ("eparis") does not match value of LOGNAME ("root"); using
"root" at /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl line 19.
dpkg: /usr/lib/libncp.so.1 not found.
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for
/usr/lib/libncp.so.1 (libncp.so.1)

Oh, I see. So probably these warnings are OK.

I don't know, it's debstd the one that calls dpkg-shlibs...

Uhhmmm, I am getting tired of these debstd horror stories. I think
I'll give debhelper a try :-)

Well, after removing the shlibs.local file and ignoring the warning my
package seems to have the right dependencies:
Depends: ipx, libc6, libcomerr2
Thanks for the help.
