Lintian tag information: empty-shlibs (type: error)

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

Although the package does not include any shared libraries, it does have a
shlibs control file. If you did include a shared library, check that the
SONAME of the library is set and that it matches the contents of the
shlibs file.

SONAMEs are set with something like gcc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so.0, where 0
is the major version of the library. If your package uses libtool, then
libtool invoked with the right options should be doing this.

Note this is sometimes triggered for packages with a private shared
library due to a bug in Debhelper.

Please refer to Bug#204975 and Bug#633853 for details.
