Maybe this quick and dirty poor's man ldd could help:

#!/bin/sh
objdump --private-headers "$@" | \
awk '$1 == "NEEDED" { printf "\t%s => /lib/%s\n", $2, $2 }'

Just put it somewhere before the real ldd in the PATH (for example, in
/local/bin or such). At least I think it could serve to know whether
dpkg-shlibdeps crash is ldd's fault or not.
