When testing on my Debian 11.x (stable) system, --add-udeb
causes the following build error:
dh_makeshlibs: error: The udeb liburing1-udeb does not contain any shared librar
ies but --add-udeb=liburing1-udeb was passed!?
make: *** [debian/rules:82: binary-arch] Error 255
Reading the current dh_makeshlibs(1) manpage reveals --add-udeb
is nowadays implicit as of debhelper 12.3 and no longer
necessary. Compatibility with Debian oldstable (buster) remains
intact. Tested with debhelper 12.1.1 on Debian 10.x (buster)
and debhelper 13.3.4 on Debian 11.x (bullseye).
