ack, your conclusion is correct.

Well if an assembly uses native libraries, make sure it exists in debian
(and is installed) ;).
apt-file search lib/libswfdec might help you.
Without the lib it would crash badly at runtime when it tries to invoke
it, thats why dh_clideps checks all module references (linkage to native
libraries) and searches for their shlibs.
