Uhmmm, for sure.  I took over this mistake from another maintainer ... :-(

I tried this and commited it to

   ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/libsbml.git

Unfortunately this ends up in

...
   dh_clideps -O--dbg-package=libsbml5-dbg
dh_clideps: Error: Could not resolve moduleref: libsbmlcs for: libsbmlcsP.dll!
dh_clideps: Error: unresolvable module references or missing shlibs entries, please check above errors!
debian/rules:39: recipe for target 'binary' failed
make: *** [binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2


I'd be happy if you could provide (or directly commit since any DD has
commit permissions) another helpful patch.

I havn't tried this one alternative - do you think this might be more
promising?

Kind regards
