[Build-common-hackers] Bug#262757: Need special DEB_DH_SHLIBDEPS_ARGS_$(cdbs_curpkg)

[Jan Schulz]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.21-0.1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

For the eclipse package, I need some special arguments for dh_shlibdeps, so
that some parts of the native things become Suggests: and some become
Depends:. In a rule file with only one binary package, thats easy:
DEB_DH_SHLIBDEPS_ARGS :=  -- -dDepends \
        debian/libswt3-gtk-java/usr/lib/jni/libswt-gtk-$(SWT_VER).so \
	debian/libswt3-gtk-java/usr/lib/jni/libswt-pi-gtk-$(SWT_VER).so \
        debian/libswt3-gtk-java/usr/lib/jni/libswt-atk-gtk-$(SWT_VER).so \
	        -dSuggests \
        debian/libswt3-gtk-java/usr/lib/jni/libswt-gnome-gtk-$(SWT_VER).so \
        debian/libswt3-gtk-java/usr/lib/jni/libswt-mozilla-gtk-$(SWT_VER).so

In a multiple binary package source package, I also have found a workaround (
I hope, setting DEB_DH_SHLIBDEPS_ARGS := DEB_DH_SHLIBDEPS_ARGS_$(cdbs_curpkg)
and then specifying this variables. Learning make is also fun...), but I
consider this a really bad one... I hope that can be implemented properly
upstream.

Nice greetings, Jan
