[2/3] package: debian: add missing Depends to linux-headers

Commit Message

The linux-headers package is missing a dependency to libc. Lintian
complains about this as well:

    W: linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195: undeclared-elf-prerequisites (libc.so.6) [usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195/scripts/asn1_compiler]
    W: linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195: undeclared-elf-prerequisites (libc.so.6) [usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195/scripts/basic/fixdep]
    W: linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195: undeclared-elf-prerequisites (libc.so.6) [usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195/scripts/kallsyms]
    W: linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195: undeclared-elf-prerequisites (libc.so.6) [usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195/scripts/mod/modpost]
    W: linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195: undeclared-elf-prerequisites (libc.so.6) [usr/src/linux-headers-6.12.0-rc4-g7e04fcfc6195/scripts/sorttable]

Fix this by introducing "dh_shlibdeps" into the build process. It
calculates shared library dependencies for packages and creates a
substvar entry for them, making them usable in "debian/control" by
specifying "${shlibs:Depends}" in the "Depends" field.

"dh_shlibdeps" detects the dependency on libc for the linux-headers
package and by specifying the substvar for the linux-headers package in
"debian/control" this dependency is correctly declared and lintian won't
complain about it anymore.
