Actually, you're not passing the file names to dh_shlibdeps, but
directly to dpkg-shlibdeps. 
According to 4.4.3 of Debian's new maintainer's guide [1] the
recommended way would be to pass customized arguments to the debhelper
tools after " -- ", so that they get passed to the respective dpkg tools
(or whatever the dh_tool is a wrapper for).
 
However, this does not seem to work here for some reason.

$ dpkg-shlibdeps <some>/<file>.pd_linux 

actually creates a reasonable debian/substvars file.

$ dh_shlibdeps -- <some>/<file>.pd_linux

which is supposed to do exactly the same (according to the
documentation) does not seem to find a file to check for libraries. 

So, I guess "dh_shlibdeps -- " is not passing _all_ arguments to
dpkg-shlibdeps? My perl skills are too limited to investigate the reason
for this behaviour myself. 

Since the recommended way is not working, I guess it is OK to call
dpkg-shlibdeps directly in the pd-packages (as you, Hans, did in
pd-motex and pd-pmpd)? Or what do you (all) think?
