    The warnings went away when I added
/usr/local/lib/FileGDB_API/lib                                                                                 

/usr/local/lib/MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44/Lidar_DSDK/lib                                         

/usr/local/lib/MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44/Raster_DSDK/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zz_qgis.conf/etc/ld.so.conf.d/zz_gis.conf and ran
ldconfig.

    The error went away when I changed
dh_shlibdeps -L libgdal1 -l debian/libgdal1/usr/lib
to
dh_shlibdeps --dpkg-shlibdeps-params=--ignore-missing-info -L libgdal1
-l debian/libgdal1/usr/lib

and was replaced with these warnings:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libNCSCnet.so.0 could be avoided
if "debian/libgdal1/usr/lib/libgdal.so.1.16.2" were not uselessly linked
against it (they use none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be avoided
if
"debian/python-gdal/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/osgeo/_gdalconst.so"
were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be avoided
if
"debian/python3-gdal/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/osgeo/_gdalconst.cpython-32mu.so"
were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

    At any rate, the packages built.  I force purged gdal-bin, libgdal1,
and python-gdal then installed the newly built copies.  QGIS was then
able to open a sid file.  Progress!  Now for testing the other formats
as well as sid more thoroughly.
