This symbols file thing is clear as mud for me, I just don't get it. Running dpkg-gensymbols does not produce any diff I can see, the created debian/tmp/DEBIAN/symbols is identical to the original debian/libunarr1.symbols. The more I look into this, the more weird. I cannot see any usable symbols in the generated solib using objdump or nm. Is this the reason gensymbols doesn't generate anything? Isn't a library so-file without visible symbols terribly wrong?
