NAME

       dh_sodeps - generate library dependencies for development *.so symlinks

SYNOPSIS

       dh_sodeps [debhelper options] [-Vversioninfo]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_sodeps is a helper program that generates library dependencies for
       *.so symlinks that are typically found in the library development
       packages.

       It basically looks for usr/lib/*.so in the package build directory,
       finds all local arch specific packages that actually contain targets of
       those symlinks and adds dependencies on the discovered packages to the
       "so:Depends" substitution variable. Dependencies are strict by default,
       i.e.  (=${binary:Version}) if the package containing *.so is arch
       specific or (>=${source:Version}) if it is arch independent.

OPTIONS

       -Vversioninfo, --version-info=versioninfo
           Use the specified version information for dependencies. If this
           option is not specified, dh_sodeps will generate a strict
           dependency as explained above.  Please note that you don't need to
           enclose the value in brackets. dh_sodeps will do this
           automatically.

       -Xitem, --exclude item
           Do not calculate dependencies for *.so files that contain "item"
           anywhere in their path/filename. You may use this option multiple
           times to build up a list of things to exclude.
