 I think this is fine; the resulting "symbols" file can make strict
 assumptions.

 You don't expect dh_makeshlibs to make your build fail, even if you
 might forgot excluding some new plugin dir for example.  In the same
 way, dpkg-gensymbols will generate a symbols file based on your earlier
 instructions and will do something safe for symbols which are not
 covered by your instructions.
