It does. Uselessly :(

Here is a snippet of the build log:

 dh_shlibdeps -a
 dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libdb-4.8.so could be avoided 
 if "debian/libapache2-mod-perl2/usr/lib/perl5/auto/APR/APR.so" were 
 not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

So it seems we have an example of troublesome needless dependency to 
solve.

(There is also useless linking to libcrypt.so.1 and libm.so.6 but 
these are part of libc6 and don't pose a problem for now)
