In short: you put the wrong thing in the shlibs file in correlation to the 
binary packages you created. The dependant package looks for 
libITKAlgorithms.so.2.8 from SONAME, however the shlibs file contains 
libitkvnl_algo[.so.2.8].

I suggest that you take a look at the debian library packaging guide [1], 
because it will give you more and better answers than I could.

Cheers,
   Stefan.
