well, in general "you" should explicitely include headers for the
functions you need, rather than relying on "some other" header to do
that for you - that other header might have required <string.h>
internally but a newer version might have a different private
implementation that allowed them to drop the include...

the name should be "libheif1", without the dash.
(the dash is usually used if you want multiple major versions of a
library to be coinstallable, e.g. libheif1.0-2 and libheif3-1; urgh)

seems like you have an old lintian on your system.
(e.g. because you are building on a Debian/stretch machine in a
sid-chroot; and/or because your machine hasn't been updated in a while)
