+
+ * Merge dpkg-shlibdeps-buxy branch.
+
+ * scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: heavily reworked to support "symbols"
+ files. Lots of the code has been modularized in perl modules
+ Dpkg::Shlibs::*.
+
+ * scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl: new script used to generated symbols
+ files at package build time. It shall be used by packages of libraries.
+
+ * man/dpkg-{shlibdeps,gensymbols}.1: updated and created manual
+ pages documenting the changes above.
+
+ * scripts/t/*: Added some non-regression test on many parts of the
+ newly introduced perl modules.

+ * Merge dpkg-shlibdeps-buxy branch, dpkg-shlibdeps has been heavily
+ reworked:
+ * it supports "symbols" files to generate finer-grained
+ dependencies. Closes: #430367
+ Those files can be created by the new dpkg-gensymbols
+ command.
+ * it uses now all paths in RPATH (instead of only the first).
+ Closes: #395942
+ * it's now able to parse include directives in /etc/ld.so.conf.
+ Closes: #431597
+ * libraries are also searched in the public directories of packages
+ being built and thus debian/shlibs.local can effectively define
+ dependencies for libraries that are being built. Closes: #80340
+ * "symbols" files use the full SONAME as key instead of splitting it in
+ (name, version) like the "shlibs" format requires it. This allows
+ binaries to be linked with unversioned libraries and not fail.
+ Closes: #48208
+ Note that unversioned libraries are still a very bad idea.
+ * dpkg-shlibdeps now supports "-x<package>" options that can be used
+ to exclude packages from generated dependencies. This is
+ particalularly useful to avoid dependencies on ourselves when a
+ package contains a binary and a library (without requiring an
+ shlibs.local file to override the usual shlibs file). It might also
+ be used to avoid other unwanted dependencies (use with care though).
+ Closes: #41907, #109954
+ * If dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't find any dependency information for a
+ shared library that is actively used, then it will fail. This can be
+ disabled with the option --ignore-missing-info. Closes: #10807
