debuild: no dependency information found

[ptz]

I am trying to package my source into a deb package. When I run `debuild -us -uc` I get an error: "dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for libsomething.so". Libsomething was originally installed manually after compiling from source, but I now reinstalled it via checkinstall. Where do I look/read to solve this? Currently, my debian/control has "Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}". I know I can force dpkg-shlibdeps to ignore this error, but I assume that would result in my package not containing any info about libsomething, which is undesired.
