+Tag: distant-prerequisite-in-shlibs
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/shlibs
+Renamed-From:
+ shlibs-declares-dependency-on-other-package
+Explanation: This package declares in its shlibs control file either a dependency
+ on some other package not listed in the Provides of this package or on a
+ version of this package that the package version doesn't satisfy.
+ .
+ Packages should normally only list in their shlibs control file the
+ shared libraries included in that package, and therefore the dependencies
+ listed there should normally be satisfied by either the package itself or
+ one of its Provides.
+ .
+ In unusual circumstances where it's necessary to declare more complex
+ dependencies in the shlibs control file, please add a Lintian override
+ for this warning.
