+Tag: symbols-file-missing-build-depends-package-field
+Severity: info
+Check: debian/shlibs
+Explanation: The symbols file for this package does not contain a
+ <code>Build-Depends-Package</code> meta-information field.
+ .
+ This field specifies the name of the <code>-dev</code> package associated
+ to the library and is used by <code>dpkg-shlibdeps(1)</code> to make sure
+ that the dependency generated is at least as strict as the
+ corresponding build dependency.
+ .
+ This is useful as allows packages to not hardcode this information
+ multiple times.
+ .
+ Note that the format of <code>deb-symbols(5)</code> files requires that the
+ <code>&ast; Build-Depends-Package:</code> line should start in column one of
+ the file and not be indented to align with the symbols themselves.
+ Please do not use the placeholder <code>&#35;PACKAGE&#35;</code>. The
+ development package for your shared library must be stated explicitly.
