    -ldirectory[:directory ...]
       With recent versions of dpkg-shlibdeps, this option is generally 
not needed.

       It tells dpkg-shlibdeps (via its -l parameter), to look for 
private package libraries in the specified directory (or
       directories -- separate with colons). With recent versions of 
dpkg-shlibdeps, this is mostly only useful (...) or other situations 
where the library is installed into a
       directory not on the regular library search path.

We install a lot of so-files into /usr/lib/proftpd (as plugins). Is 
/usr/lib/... considered to be a "regular library search path"?

After removing that option these messages are still there:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 
debian/proftpd-mod-ldap/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_ldap.so contains an 
unresolvable reference to symbol pr_signals_handle: it's probably a plugin
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: 33 other similar warnings have been skipped 
(use -v to see them all)

...so this makes me thinks that the option is indeed useless. Please 
confirm. Many thanks!
