Thanks Mike. Sorted that issue out. Didn't realize I'd commented out
dh_makeshlibs =)

Another issue sprung up, though. What I need to be able to do now is have
libngi3 (0.8) and libngi3 (0.9) installed at the same time. They don't share
any binaries that are the same.

I assume this means that I actually have to make libngi3-0.9 and libngi3-0.8
packages as separate entities? Or is there a way to make a package not
replace itself if there's something using it?
