Okay.  What about the following?  They sound reasonable, isn't there a
way to suppress them?

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol ap_register_output_filter used by debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_shib_22.so found in none of the libraries.
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 58 other similar warnings have been skipped (use -v to see them all).

And something more mysterious:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libnsl.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/bin/resolvertest debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_shib_22.so debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/lib/libshibsp.so.1.0.0 debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/lib/shibboleth/adfs.so debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/bin/mdquery debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/lib/shibboleth/adfs-lite.so debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/sbin/shibd debian/libapache2-mod-shib2/usr/lib/libshibsp-lite.so.1.0.0" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

One more thing: in the changes file the short description of all three
packages is the same, as if the parenthesised part was chopped off.
Maybe the new short description is too long, after all...
