The simpliest rule is:
If package provides any library it should provide shlibs file. It could
be created with command dh_makeshlibs in debian/rules.
Example: dh_makeshlibs -V 'libt1-5 (>= 5.0.2)'
If package depends on library it uses shlibs from this library to create
a proper dependency (to be precise: to fill the variable ${shlibs:Depends}
in debian/control. It could by done by calling dh_shlibdeps.

Somehow tricky part is when the one source package builds one library
and one binary (with executable) package, or if package contains both
librar and executable. Then you should have to call dh_shlibdeps with -l
option.

BTW, IIRC Debian Policy explicite disables using -rpath for libraries.
I believe Ubuntu inherited it.

And last but not least - on Debian one can verify some aspects of package
using tools like lintian or linda.
