warning: Command dpkg-shlibdeps failed to launch (no auto deps for ...)

I'm not sure if I should create a new issue, or post as a comment to:

• Allow dpkg-shlibdeps flags or Debian rules file #107

This could be solved by #107, but judging by the comments there, it may not be preferred.

When I run cargo deb, I get a bunch of warnings:

...
warning: Command dpkg-shlibdeps failed to launch (no auto deps for .../target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/...)
warning: Command dpkg-shlibdeps failed to launch (no auto deps for .../target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/...)
warning: Command dpkg-shlibdeps failed to launch (no auto deps for .../target/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/...)
...

Searching for this warning, I get a StackOverflow post that suggests dh_shlibdeps --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=--ignore-missing-info as the solution, but does not address cargo-deb. Reading #107 comments, I understand that cargo-deb does not use dh, so I'm not sure what that translates into.

My Cargo.toml has depends = "$auto, systemd, rsyslog". I would think that $auto covers the mentioned assets, but the warnings prevail.

I would like for these warnings to go away; either by specifying something about them, or by allowing the suppression of the warning.

What would a good solution look like?

I could try to provide a solution for cargo-deb, but I am just a user of this tool right now.

You can remove $auto and specify everything manually.
