[Build-common-hackers] Bug#381590: useless call of dh_makeshlibs

[Steffen Joeris]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.45
Severity: normal

Hi

During the work on our new debian-edu-artwork package I found
the following problem. We use of course cdbs and just have the
following includes:
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk

The debhelper.mk calls dh_makeshlibs which adds an unneeded call to
ldconfig to the maintainer script, because it finds a lib under
/usr/lib/usplash/... , but there is no need for a ldconfig call.
Anyway it seems that the following code in debhelper.mk works not as
expected:

is_debug_package=$(if $(patsubst %-dbg,,$(cdbs_curpkg)),,yes)
(line 95)

$(if $(is_debug_package),,dh_makeshlibs -p$(cdbs_curpkg)
$(DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS))
(line 203)

Well maybe I am wrong and Peter can give me another lesson in make :)
but shouldn't that only executed when the package name ends with -dbg?
Well our package is doesn't end with that and so I am a bit surprised
that dh_makeshlibs is called anyway :(

Greetings
Steffen
