I was referring to this from your original:

    It was also confusing dpkg-shlibdeps, so I recently came up with
    this fix.  Both fixes seem like good changes to me, and both
    could be applied.  Your fix has the virtue of being shorter,
    hence safer.

Is Jeff's mergetool-lib change enough to address this issue as well?
