* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl: bugfix, avoid unwanted modification
of @pkg_shlibs by my_find_library.
+ * scripts/dpkg-{checkbuilddeps.pl,gencontrol.pl,source.pl}:
+ adapted to use the new Dpkg::Deps module. dpkg-gencontrol gains
+ new features such as automatic simplification of dependencies.
+ * scripts/controllib.pl: remove unused parsedep() and showdep().
+ * man/dpkg-gencontrol.1: document the new behaviour with
+ dependency fields.

* 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
+ * Switch perl programs to use the new Dpkg/Deps module. This changes the
+ behaviour of dpkg-gencontrol which will rewrite and simplify dependencies
+ as possible.
+ Multiple dependencies on the same package are replaced by their
+ intersection. Closes: #178203, #186809, #222652
+ This applies to dependencies as well as build dependencies.
