Hi Andreas and Michael,

it looks that the package will fail to build each time the d-shlibmove program will
change, and this is not under our control.

If you use it to find the multiarch path, have you considered dh-exec as an
alternative ?  Here is how I used it in htslib.

In debian/control, build-depend on dh-exec.

In debian/libhts0.install :

#! /usr/bin/dh-exec
usr/lib/libhts.so.*	usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/

Debhelper does the rest.

See https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation for details.

Have a nice day,
