Bug#914618: godot: Let dpkg-shlibdeps generate the library dependencies

Source: godot
Version: 3.0.6-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The binary packages generated by godot have a hard-coded list of
library dependencies.

This is a violation of Debian Policy ยง 8.6.1

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#generating-dependencies-on-shared-libraries

The dpkg-shlibdep system automatically generates the dependencies
which allows for smooth library transitions. For instance, godot will
not migrate to Testing now because it depends on libvpx4 but Testing
has now switched to libvpx5.

I will attach a patch to fix this in my follow-up email.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
