=head1 SYNOPSIS
- dh_makeshlibs [debhelper options] [-mmajor] [-V[dependancies]] [-n]
+B<dh_makeshlibs> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-m>I<major>] [B<-V>I<[dependancies]>] [B<-n>] [B<-X>I<item>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
libraries, and generates a shlibs file for the libraries it finds.
It also adds a call to ldconfig in the postinst and postrm scripts (in
-DH_COMPAT=3 mode and above only).
+V3 mode and above only) to any packages which it finds shared libraries in.
=head1 OPTIONS
=item B<-m>I<major>, B<--major=>I<major>
-Instead of trying to guess the major number of the library from the
-filename of the library, use the major number specified after the -m parameter.
+Instead of trying to guess the major number of the library with objdump,
+use the major number specified after the -m parameter. This is much less
+useful than it used to be, back in the bad old days when this program
+looked at library filenames rather than using objdump.
=item B<-V>, B<-V>I<dependancies>
library. It may be necessary for you to add some version dependancy
information to the shlibs file. If -V is specified with no dependancy
information, the current version of the package is plugged into a
-dependancy that looks like "packagename (>= packageversion)". If -V is specified with
-parameters, the parameters can be used to specify the exact dependancy
-information needed (be sure to include the package name).
+dependancy that looks like "packagename (>= packageversion)". If -V is
+specified with parameters, the parameters can be used to specify the exact
+dependancy information needed (be sure to include the package name).
+
+Beware of using -V without any parameters; this is a conservative setting
+that always ensures that other packages' shared library dependencies are at
+least as tight as they need to be, so that if the maintainer screws up then
+they won't break. The flip side is that packages might end up with
+dependencies that are too tight and so find it harder to be upgraded.
=item B<-n>, B<--noscripts>
Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.
+=item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>
+
+Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename or directory
+from being treated as shared libraries.

=head1 EXAMPLES
Generates a shlibs file that looks something like:
libfoobar 1 libfoobar1 (>= 1.0)

-=head1 NOTES
-
-There is no guarantee that the program will get the shlibs file right. For
-example, it may not correctly guess the major number of your package. In
-cases like these (and perhaps in general, just to be safe), it is better to
-create a debian/shlibs file by hand, or force it to use the correct major
-number by specifying the -m parameter.
