please avoid dpkg_late_eval in debian/rules

Hello.

Just in case it helps while you are updating several packages, a more 
intrusive suggestion is attached, mostly replacing the shell loop with a 
Make loop. Compared to the current debian/rules in (for example) 
kitinerary,

+ everything is visible in the log, especially the value of the 
substitution variable

+ the build stops on first error (errors in shell lines before the last 
semi-colon do not interrupt Make)

+ running override_dh_makeshlibs twice in a row will not add the 
substitution variable again and again.  This may be convenient when 
trying again an interrupted build for example.

+ debian/rules -n override_dh_makeshlibs     allows one to check that 
all versions are correctly computed

+? \s* is removed from the regex removing abi[0-9]\+ (it seems 
unnecessary, but you may want to restore it if I am issing something)

I hope that you will be able to reuse some of these ideas.
