package-placeholder-in-symbols-file
The symbols file contains the placeholder #PACKAGE#
in the Build-Depends-Package
field. During the build process, it
will be replaced with the wrong value. There is no placeholder that works.
The development package for your shared library must be stated explicitly.
With the information, dpkg-shlibdeps(1)
can calculate the
installation prerequisites for your package from the build prerequisites.
