I am not sure what you guys are talking about (unless I am completely confused). shlibs files are for library packages that _provide_ something to link against (SONAMEd shared libraries). shlibs:Depends gets a list that is created by dpkg-shlibdeps by checking how the binaries are linked and reading the .shlibs files from the installed library packages. So why do you need shlibs.local? Do you try to replace the target dependency on libxmms with something like "libxmms | my-other-library" for your local packages or is it something else?
