[Kea-users] Build warnings under Debian Stretch

[Klaus Steden]

I've seen "unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}" many times
building Debian packages but I can't recall that it's ever caused an issue.
I think you're probably okay to ignore that one, it's a message burped by
the packaging process but shouldn't affect the binaries themselves.

cheers,
Klaus
